• 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. Using
approved body-worn accessories is important because the use other
manufacturer’s non-approved accessories may result in exposure
levels, which exceed the occupational/controlled environment RF
exposure limits.
• If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the
radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then ensure the
antenna and the radio are kept at least 2.5 cm (one inch) from the
body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is
important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance
from the antenna.
• 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.
