SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human expo-
sure to RF energy. Proper operation of this radio under
normal conditions results in user exposure to RF energy
below the Occupational Safety and Health Act and
Federal Communication Commission limits.
WARNING
DO NOT allow the antenna to touch or come in very
close proximity with the eyes, face, or any exposed body
parts while the radio is transmitting.
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, DO NOT
operate the transmitter of a mobile radio when a person
outside the vehicle is within one (1) meter of the antenna.
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, DO NOT
operate the transmitter of a stationary radio (base station
or marine radio) when a person is within one (1) meter of
the antenna.
DO NOT operate the radio in explosive or flammable
atmospheres. The transmitted radio energy could trigger
blasting caps or cause an explosion.
DO NOT operate the radio without the proper antenna
installed.
DO NOT allow children to operate or play with this
radio.
NOTE: The above warning list is not intended to
include all hazards that may be encountered when
using this radio.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Oper-
ation is subject to the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference. In addition, changes or modi-
fications to this equipment not expressly approved by
EFJohnson could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment (FCC rules, 47CFR Part 15.19).
FCC EXPOSURE LIMITS
This mobile radio transceiver was tested by the
manufacturer with an appropriate antenna in order to
verify compliance with Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) limits set under Section 2.1091 of the FCC Rules
and Regulations. The guidelines used in the evaluation
are derived from Table 1 (B) titled “Limits For General
Population/Uncontrolled Exposure” which is from FCC
report OET bulletin #65.
Table 2 lists the antenna whips and bases recom-
mended for use in each frequency range. Each model of
this radio was tested with the appropriate antenna listed.
The antenna was mounted in the center of the roof of a
domestically manufactured four-door passenger sedan.
The radio manufacturer has determined that the user and
service personnel should remain one (1) meter in
distance away from the antenna when transmitting. By
maintaining this distance, these individuals are not
exposed to radio frequency energy or magnetic fields in
excess of the guidelines set forth in Table 1.
NOTE: Other antennas or installation configurations
that have not been tested may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and therefore are not recommended.
