OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING
ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE
OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT:
LOCATION: Be aware that this radio and /
or antenna may create interference with, or
be interfered with, by nearby electronic
equipment such as computers, monitors,
keyboards, electronic telephones and other
sensitive devices. Either move the
equipment or use a remote antenna to
separate components sufficiently to stop or
reduce interference.
MOISTURE: “Display Series” base radios
are not waterproof. DO NOT directly expose
them to rain or excessive moisture.
CHEMICALS: Detergents, alcohol, aerosol
sprays or petroleum products can damage
the radio case. DO NOT use petroleum
solvents of any kind; use a soft cloth
moistened with water to clean the case.
EXTREME HEAT: High temperatures can
damage the radio and its components. DO
NOT expose the units to extreme heat or
leave them in direct sunlight.
EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS: DO NOT
hold the Push-To-Talk switch down longer
than necessary during transmission
intervals.
VIBRATION / SHOCK: Although your
“Display Series” base radio is designed to be
rugged, it will not survive excessive abuse.
Avoid dropping the radio.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY:
These products generate radio frequency (RF) energy when the PTT button on the
front of the unit is depressed. The product has been evaluated for compliance with
the maximum permissible exposure limits for RF energy at the maximum power
rating of the unit when using antennas available from RITRON. Antennas other than
those mentioned below have not been tested for compliance and may or may not
meet the exposure limits at the distances given. Higher gain antennas are capable of
generating higher fields in the strongest part of their field and would, therefore,
require a greater separation from the antenna.
JBS-446D: Using the AFB-1545 antenna included with the product at the 20 cm (7.9
inches) minimum expected separation distance and greater, the maximum RF
exposure is well below the General Population/Uncontrolled limits. Antennas other
than those available from RITRON have not been tested for compliance and may or
may not meet the exposure limits at the distances given. Higher gain antennas are
capable of generating higher fields in the strongest part of their field and would,
therefore, require a greater separation from the antenna. This product is not to be
used by the general public in an uncontrolled environment unless compliance with
the Uncontrolled/General Population limits for RF exposure can be assured.
To limit exposure to RF energy to levels below the limit, please observe the following:
 Use only the antenna(s) available from RITRON for these models. DO NOT
operate the radio without an antenna.
 Keep talk times as short and infrequent as possible. DO NOT depress the PTT
button when not actually wishing to transmit. These radios are equipped with an
internal timer to limit continuous transmit times.
 When transmitting, make certain that the distance limits for the particular model in
use are observed.
 DO NOT allow children to operate the radio.
