marketed in North America are designed, manufactured and tested
to ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In
addition, manufacturers also recommend specic operating instructions
to users of 2-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform users about RF
energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what
RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure
compliance with established RF exposure limits.

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operation
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 must 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).
Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone
(and the other parts of the radio, including the antenna) at least one
inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping the radio at the proper
distance is important because RF exposures decrease with distance
from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes.
