EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
These products generate radio frequency (RF) energy when the
PTT button on the front of the unit is depressed. The product has
been evaluated for compliance with the maximum permissible
exposure limits for RF energy at the maximum power rating of the
unit when using antennas available from RITRON. Antennas other
than those mentioned below have not been tested for compliance
and may or may not meet the exposure limits at the distances
given. Higher gain antennas are capable of generating higher
fields in the strongest part of their field and would, therefore,
require a greater separation from the antenna.
AFB-1545 (included with radio) -2 dBi gain
RAM-1545 (optional magnet-mount antenna) 2 dBi gain
RBS-477DMR:
Using the AFB-1545 antenna (included with the product) in a
vertical orientation at the 20 cm (7.9 inches) minimum expected
separation distance and greater, the maximum RF exposure is well
below the General Population/Uncontrolled limits. When using the
RAM-1545 (optional magnet-mount antenna with 25’ cable) in a
vertical orientation a 29.4 cm separation distance is required.
Antennas other than those available from RITRON have not been
tested for compliance and may or may not meet the exposure
limits at the distances given. Higher gain antennas are capable of
generating higher fields in the strongest part of their field and
would, therefore, require a greater separation from the antenna.
This product is not to be used by the general public in an
uncontrolled environment unless compliance with the
Uncontrolled/General Population limits for RF exposure can be
assured.
En utilisant l'antenne AFB-1545 (fournie avec le produit) dans une
orientation verticale à la distance de séparation minimale prévue
de 20 cm (7.9 pouces) et plus, l'exposition RF maximale est bien
inférieure aux limites de la population générale / non contrôlées.
Lors de l'utilisation de la RAM-1545 (antenne optionnelle à
montage magnétique avec câble de 25 pi) dans une orientation
verticale, une distance de séparation de 29.4 cm est requise. Les
antennes autres que celles disponibles chez RITRON n'ont pas
été testées pour leur conformité et peuvent ou non respecter les
limites d'exposition aux distances indiquées. Les antennes à gain
plus élevé sont capables de générer des champs plus élevés dans
la partie la plus forte de leur champ et nécessiteraient donc une
plus grande séparation de l'antenne. Ce produit ne doit pas être
utilisé par le grand public dans un environnement non contrôlé, à
moins que le respect des limites d'exposition aux RF pour la
population non contrôlée / générale ne puisse être assuré.
To limit exposure to RF energy to levels below the limit, please
observe the following:
• Use only the antenna(s) available from RITRON for these
models. DO NOT operate the radio without an antenna.
• DO NOT transmitter more than 50% of the time.
• When transmitting, make certain that the distance limits for the
particular model in use are observed.
• DO NOT allow children to operate the radio.
When used as directed, this series of radios is designed to comply
with the FCC and IC RF exposure limits for “Uncontrolled/General
Population”. In addition, they are designed to comply with the
following 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.

OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENTS TO
MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT
LOCATION: Be aware that this radio and / or antenna may create
interference with, or be interfered with, by nearby electronic
equipment such as computers, monitors, keyboards, electronic
telephones and other sensitive devices. Either move the
equipment or use a remote antenna to separate components
sufficiently to stop or reduce interference.
MOISTURE: Ritron base radios are not waterproof. DO NOT
directly expose them to rain or excessive moisture.
CHEMICALS: Detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or petroleum
products can damage the radio case. DO NOT use petroleum
solvents of any kind; use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean
the case.
EXTREME HEAT: High temperatures can damage the radio and
its components. DO NOT expose the units to extreme heat or
leave them in direct sunlight.
EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS: DO NOT hold the Push-To-Talk
switch down longer than necessary during transmission intervals.
VIBRATION / SHOCK: Although your Ritron base radio is
designed to be rugged, it will not survive excessive abuse. Avoid
dropping the radio.
