This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance.
It applies radio waves or radio frequency (RF) energy to transmit and receive voice
calls or data. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include,
but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be
confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used
improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example,
can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards
provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general
public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of
protection.
All UNICATION U3 two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to
ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. Additionally,
manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way
radios. These instructions are essential because they inform users about RF energy
exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy
exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits:

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure
limits for portable two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When
two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users
to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational
requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label
directing users to specific user awareness information. Your UNICATION U3 two-way
radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. In addition, your UNICATION U3 user manual
and separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions
required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
