BEFORE USING YOUR RELM MOBILE RADIO.
n Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
Your RELM mobile radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP
exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at operating duty
factors of up to 50% transmitting and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your
radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not
when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your RELM mobile radio complies with the following of RF energy exposur
e standards and guidelines:
l United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal
Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J
l American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
l Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
l International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
??Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users
should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following
procedures:
