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.
