SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

• DO NOT transmit more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle).
Transmitting for more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be exceeded. This radio is transmitting when-
ever
Tx is indicated in the display. Pressing the PTT switch on the side
usually causes the radio to transmit.
• DO NOT use any accessories not specifically authorized by the E.F.
Johnson Company for use with this radio such as batteries, speaker-
microphones, belt clips, and antennas. The use of unauthorized accessories
can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna and radio at least 2.54 cm (1.0 inch) away from
your body when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements are not exceeded. The best transmission quality results when
the antenna is at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from your mouth and angled
slightly to one side.
NOTE: The preceding information is provided to make you aware of RF
exposure and what to do to ensure that this radio is operated within FCC RF
exposure limits.
