RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND
CONTROL INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC AND INDUSTRY CANADA
(IC) OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR MOBILE 2-WAY RADIO READ THIS IMPORTANT RF ENERGY
AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC’S RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have
full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC and
IC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other
use.
This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance.
It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of
electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight and x-rays.
RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which
when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can
damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop
standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure
for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial
margins of protection. All 2-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured and
tested to ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers
also recommend specific operating instructions to users of 2-way radios. These instructions are
important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on
how to control it. Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy
exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure
limits.

Federal Communications Commission/Industry Canada Regulations
The FCC and IC rules require manufacturers to comply with the RF energy exposure limits for mobile
2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as a consequence
of employment, the FCC and IC require users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to
meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing
users to specific user awareness information.
Your Ritron 2-way radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, this Ritron RCCR-151/152 user
manual includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to
satisfy compliance requirements.
