User's Manual

To ensure bodily exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use. Always adhere to
the following basic guidelines:
•
The push-to-talk button should only be depressed when intending to send a voice message.
• The radio should only be used for necessary work-related communications.
• The radio should only be used by authorized and trained personnel. It should never be operated by children.
• Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio. Changes or modifications to the radio may cause harmful
interference and/or cause it to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Only qualified personnel should service the radio.
Occupational Safety Guidelines And Safety Training Information
Federal Communications Commission Regulations
Before it was marketed in the United States, the Digital portable radio was tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy
exposure limits for two-way portable radios. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires
users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be
facilitated by the use of a
label directing users to specific user awareness information. The radio has an RF exposure product label.
Also, the Product Safety Manual and this Operator’s Manual include information and operating instructions required to control RF
exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.

• Hold the r adio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphon e (and the othe r
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 exposur es decrease
with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes.
