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
z International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
z Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3KHz to 300GHz, 1999
z Australian Communications Authority Radio communications (Electromagnetic
Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard 1999 (applicable to wireless phones only)
