FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements –
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General Docket 93-62, November 7, 1997,
has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated equipment.
Maxon subscribes to the same safety standard for the use of its products. Proper operation of this radio will
result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and Federal Communications
Commission limits.
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 6 dBi. The radio must be used in
config-urations with a maximum operating duty factor not exceeding 50%, in typical push-to-talk
configurations.
This radio is approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s)
used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 57cm(SD-125E U1),
54cm(SD-125E U2), 52cm(SD-125E U3), 66cm(SD-125E V2) from all persons, must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with asny other antenna or transmitter.
CAUTION -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.
Users must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for
satisfying RF exposure compliance.
NOTE: This radio operates in FCC regulated frequency bands.
All radios must be licensed by the FCC before use. Because this radio contains a transmitter, Federal law
prohibits unauthorized use or adjustments of this radio.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does
not cause harmful interference.
Safety
CAUTION - DO NOT operate the transmitter of any radio unless all RF connectors are secure and any open
connectors are properly terminated.
CAUTION - DO NOT operate the radio near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
CAUTION - All equipment must be properly grounded for safe operation.
WARNING - DO NOT allow children to operate transmitter - equipped radio equipment.
WARNING - All equipment should be serviced by a qualified technician.
WARNING - It is mandatory that radio installations in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas conform to the
following standard: National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 58 applies to radio installations in
vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum (LP) gas with LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space
within the interior of the vehicle. This standard requires that:
1. Any space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space in which the LP gas
container and its fittings are located.
2. Remote (outside) filling connections shall be vented to the outside.
