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
guidelines below.
Your P800 portable radio may transmits using the
integral antenna. When the radio 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 P800 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. The push-to-talk button should only be depressed
when intending to send a voice message.
4. The radio should only be used for necessary work
related communications.
5. The radio should only be used by authorized and
trained personnel and should not be operated by
children.
6. 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.
