SAFETYTRAININGINFORMATION
Your Northfield Telecommunications, Inc. d/b/a Advanced Wireless Communications radio
generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and
classified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of
employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards.
This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled
environment.
ThisradiohasbeentestedandcomplieswiththeFCCRFexposurelimitsfor“OccupationalUseOnly”.Inaddition,
your Northfield Telecommunications, Inc. d/b/a Advanced Wireless Communications radio complies with the
followingStandardsandGuidelines
withregardtoRFenergyandelectromagneticenergylevelsandevaluationof
suchlevelsforexposuretohumans:
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those (listed in the
instruction) specified may result in RF exposure levels exceed the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.
ToensurethatyourexposetoRFelectromagneticenergyiswithintheFCCallowablelimitsfor
occupationaluse,alwaysadheretothefollowingguidelines:
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you
to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or
antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmits for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time
can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator”
lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 30 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the HYT belt-clip
which is listed in instructions when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna
at least 15cm from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
