Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

Your Ritron two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and

guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies

with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty factors of up to

50% talk and 50% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for

compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is

transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. Your Ritron two-way radio complies

with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 2 sub-part J.

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992.

• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.

To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the

occupational/controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures:

Guidelines:

• 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.

Instructions:

Transmit only when people in the vicinity are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away, as shown in

Table 1, from a properly installed antenna according to installation instructions.

NOTE - Table 1 lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an uncontrolled environment from

transmitting types of antennas (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at several different ranges of rated

radio power for mobile radios installed on a vehicle.
