8 For your safety

It is also important that you:

■ Do not remove the RF exposure label from the radio.

■ Ensure this RF exposure information accompanies the

radio when it is transferred to other users.

■ Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the

guidelines on controlling your exposure to RF.

Controlling your exposure to RF energy

This radio emits RF energy or radio waves primarily when

calls are made. RF is a form of electromagnetic energy (as is

sunlight), and there are recommended levels of maximum

RF exposure.

To control your exposure to RF and comply with the

maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled

environments, follow these guidelines:

■ Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated

transmit duty cycle. This is important because the radio

radiates more energy when it is transmitting than when it

is receiving.

■ While you are transmitting (talking or sending data) on

the radio, you must ensure that there is always a distance

of 0.9m (35 inches) between people and the antenna.

This is the minimum safe distance.

■ Use the radio only with Tait-approved antennas and

attachments, and make only authorized modifications to

the antenna otherwise you could damage the radio and

violate FCC regulations.
