Occupational Safety Guidelines and Safety Training
Information
CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the
FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following
guidelines.
Your P-801T portable radio may transmit using either an integral antenna or remote
speaker microphone/antenna. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In 1996, the Federal Communications commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety limits for portable devices, based on the recommended limits of the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and the American
National Safety Institute (ANSI).
The design of the P-801T Portable Radio complies with the FCC guidelines for
Occupational / Controlled exposure to RF electromagnetic fields, as measured by the
specific absorption rate (SAR). To assure optimal performance and make sure human
exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC guidelines, always adhere to
the following:
1. Do not hold the radio less than 1 inch from your body, especially your face, ears,
or eyes, while transmitting.
2. When using the radio, angle the antenna away from your body and do not allow
the antenna to touch your body during transmission.
3. When using the remote speaker microphone/antenna, a separate accessory
available to P-801T users, do not allow the antenna portion to be less than 1 inch
from your body, especially the face, ears, or eyes, while transmitting. Do not let
this antenna touch your body while transmitting.
4. The push-to-talk button should only be depressed when intending to send a voice
message.
5. The radio should only be used for necessary work related communications.
6. The radio should only be used by authorized and trained personnel and should not
be operated by children.
7. Do not operate your radio or replace/charge batteries in explosive atmospheres
(gases, dust, fumes, etc.) or near explosive basking caps. Your radio should be
turned off when installing and removing batteries.
8. Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio. Changes or
modifications to the radio may cause harmful interference. Any servicing of the
radio should only be performed by qualified personnel.
9. Always use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips,
speakers/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
