2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION

2.1 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS, CONTROL

INFORMATION, AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC

OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Before using your mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and

control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC‟s RF

exposure guidelines.

NOTE

This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where

users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their

exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general

population, consumer, or any other use.

CAUTION

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by JRC could void the user's

authority to operate the equipment.

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to

provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF energy or

radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy.

Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy,

however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which,

when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example,

can damage tissues and genetic material.

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to

develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels

of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure

levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North

America are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government

established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific

operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because

they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to

control it. Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy

exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF

exposure limits.
