User's Manual

measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio generates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving
(listening) or in standby mode.
RCA Communications Systems’ two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
● United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR
part 2 sub-part J
● Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio frequency
Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
● Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation -
Human Exposure) Standard, 2003
● American National Standards Institute (ANSI) I Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992
● Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-2005 Edition
● International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (lCNIRP) 1998
● ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002 “Regulation of limitation of
exposure to electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic field in the radio frequency range
between 9 KHz and 300GHz “and “Attachment to resolution # 303 from July 2, 2002."
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
● Do not remove the RF Exposure label from the device.
● User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
● Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions
● Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the
time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only
when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
Two-Way Radio Operation
● Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and other parts
of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the nose or
lips. Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is
important since RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.
Body Worn Operation
● When worn on the body, always place the radio in a RCA Communications Systems
-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body
