SAFETY INFORMATION
RADIO OPERATOR WARNING
Do not transmit with this radio and antenna when
persons are within the MPE Radius* of the antenna
[see “Determining MPE Radius” in this section], unless
such persons (such as the driver or radio operator) are
isolated from the antenna field by a grounded metallic
barrier (such as the user's vehicle rooftop). MPE
Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis
that persons should maintain in order to avoid RF
exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by
the FCC for General Population/Uncontrolled
Exposure, as specified in 47 CFR § 1.1310.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE
WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS* TO EXPERIENCE RF
RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT FOR
GENERAL POPULATION/UNCONTROLLED EXPOSURE.
The shorter MPE Radius distances listed for the Occupational/
Controlled limits, as specified in 47 CFR § 1.1310, may be used if the
user meets the following conditions:
a) the user is exposed to the RF energy as a consequence of their
employment,
b) the user is aware of their exposure to the RF energy due to their
training by reading this Operator’s manual, and
c) the user exercises control over their exposure. In this case, the
user knows they are using a Push-To-Talk land mobile radio whose
transmitter is rated for a 20% intermittent duty cycle.
