• Always transmit using low power when possible (refer to the section
“High/Low Power Adjustment”). In addition to conserving battery
charge, low power can reduce RF exposure.
• ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries,
belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause
the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements
to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 2.)
• As noted in Table 1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT
LEAST 1.1 cm (0.43 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.00
inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best
sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, M/A-COM
recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from
mouth, and slightly off to one side.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
During transmissions, this M/A-COM radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such
interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO
NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic
radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
