RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and

Operating Instructions

To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/

controlled environment

exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.

Guidelines:

• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.

• User awareness instructions should accompany device when

transferred to other users.

• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described

herein are not met.

Operating Instructions:

• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time.

To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive

calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50 % of the time, or

less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF

energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for

standards compliance).

• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the

microphone (and the other parts of the radio, including the antenna)

at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping the radio at

the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease

with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from

eyes.

• When worn on the body, always place the radio in approved clip,

holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of non-

approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed

the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.

• Use only manufacturer’s approved supplied or replacement

antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-

name approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed

the FCC and IC RF exposure guidelines.
