RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for
Occupational Use
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions where users have full knowledge of their
exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the occupational limits in FCC and
International standards. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population consumer use.
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 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 as 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:

BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGES AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
ALSO PLEASE READ THE OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE. FOR RADIOS THAT HAVE
BEEN APPROVED AS INTRINSICALLY SAFE, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION ON
INTRINSIC SAFETY ON PAGE 11 OF THIS BOOKLET.
