Safety Information, Continued
WARNING - This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your FM radio complies with the following
standards and guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels
and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans :
- FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 supplement C, Evaluating compliance with FCC
guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
- American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE standard for Safety levels
with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to
300 GHz.
- American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE recommended practice for
the measurement of potentially hazardous electromagnetic fields – RF and Microwave.
- DO not operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the
radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is
the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically
authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
- ALWAYS use Maxon authorized accessories. Use of unauthorized accessories can
cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
- 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 information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her
aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF
exposure limits.
During transmissions, your 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.
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.
WARNING - DO not operate the transmitter of a mobile radio when someone outside the vehicle is
within two feet (0.6 meter) of the antenna.
