Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your Ritron two-way 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 duty factors of up to 50% talk and 50% listen and
is authorized by the FCC and IC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for
compliance with the exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only
while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. Your
Ritron two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 2
sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Instructions:
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-
To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or
less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
• Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral
distance away, as shown in Table 1, from a properly installed according to installation instructions,
externally-mounted antenna.
NOTE – Table 1 lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an uncontrolled
environment from transmitting types of antennas (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at
several different ranges of rated radio power for mobile radios installed in a vehicle.
