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 and 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.
Your Unication two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radio communications (Electromagnetic Radiation – Human Exposure) Standard, 2003
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002 "Regulation of limitation of exposure to electrical, magnetic and
electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency range between 9 KHz and 300 GHz" and "Attachment to resolution # 303 from
July 2, 2002"
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to
the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
