READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE
USING YOUR HYT PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.
 Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
Your HYT 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 (FCC) and ICNIRP
exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of up to
50% talk-50% listen and should be used 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.
Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5%
talk-5% listen-90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational
RF exposure limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk.
Your HYT two-way radio complies with the following of RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
z United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR
part 2 sub-part J
z American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
z Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
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:
