Safety:
It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards common to the
operation of any transceiver.
WARNING:
• FCC RF Exposure Compliance: FCC RF exposure compliance must be addressed
at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including
antenna co-location requirements of §1.1307(b)(3). The applicable exposure limits,
to demonstrate compliance, are specified in FCC Part 1.1310. Additionally, to
comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures. The installer of
the antenna to be used with this transmitter may be required to perform an MPE
evaluation and an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the location at the time of
licensing per CFR 47 Part 1.1307. Fixed mounted antenna(s) that are co-located with
other antenna(s) must satisfy the co-location requirements of Part 1.1307 for
satisfying RF exposure compliance.
• INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS: Do not operate the
transceiver when someone is either touching the antenna or standing within proximity
established by an MPE evaluation to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or
related physical injury.
• DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS Operating the transceiver within 500 feet of
dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when
in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO”
signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make
sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit
while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.
