SAFETY INFORMATION
Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the
Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In
August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety
levels for hand-held wireless devices.
This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% (this corresponds to 50%
transmission time and 50% reception time).
WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its
antenna must maintain a separation distance of at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face.
Speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required
separation distance.
If you use a headset accessory for this radio, with the radio worn on your body, use only the Vertex
Standard belt clip for this transceiver, and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters)
from your body when transmitting.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the transmitter, and may violate FCC regulations.
