U3 Radio Safety Booklet
English Version
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 two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Unication user
manual or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to
control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your Unication two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure
limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors
of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In
terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio
generates 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 factor
(5% talk - 5% listen - 90% standby) even though this radio complies with FCC
occupational exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.
