REGULATORY INFORMATION
Publication 14222-1150-2000, Rev. A 3
To ensure exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also
cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio
by Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. These antennas are listed
on page 67.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than
50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the LED indicator on the top of the radio lights red in color. The radio transmits when its
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) key is pressed.
• Always transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can
reduce RF exposure. Refer to page 36 for additional information.
• ALWAYS use Harris 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.
• ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from the body and face when
transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the best
sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends holding the front of the radio
between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters) from your mouth when transmitting into the radio’s
microphone.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
During transmissions, this 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
