RF Exposure Statement
The radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as
“Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of
the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General
Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall
comply with the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed a limit necessary for the application.
2. The transmitter antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a separation distance of
45 centimeters or more between the transmitter antenna of this device and persons during operation.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use,
always adhere to the following guidelines:
•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to
exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna
specifically required to meet application requirements.
•DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can
cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, the radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To
avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas
that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
