Safety and compliance warnings 3
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 maxi-
mum exposure limits for occupational/controlled environ-
ments, 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.
