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.

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.

This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled

environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only

where radio operator must have the knowledge to control the user’s exposure conditions for

satisfying the higher exposure limit allowed for occupational use.

When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm)

The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the front of the radio is illuminated. You can

cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT bar on the radio.

These are required operating configurations for meeting FCC RF exposure compliance.

Failure to observe these restrictions mean violation.
