Radio User Manual

Safety Information

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) electromag-

netic 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.

WARNING - DO NOT hold the radio in such a manner that the

antenna is next to, or touching, exposed parts of the

body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

WARNING - DO NOT allow children to operate transmitter-

equipped radio equipment.

CAUTION - DO NOT operate the radio near unshielded electrical

blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere unless it

is a type especially designed and qualified for such use.

CAUTION - DO NOT press and hold the transmit switch (P-T-T)

when not actually wishing to transmit.

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.
