User Safety, Training, and General Information
READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
BEFORE USING YOUR HYT PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
Your
HYT
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 (FCC) and ICNIRP
exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of
up to 50% talk-50% listen and should be used for occupational use only. In terms of
measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio
radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it
is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Note:
The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle
(5% talk-5% listen-90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC
occupational RF exposure limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk.
Your HYT two-way radio complies with the following of RF ene rgy exposure
standards and guidelines:
 United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations;
47CFR part 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
 International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users
should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following
procedures:
Transmit and Receive
To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to receive, release the PTT
button.
Hand-held radio operation
Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm)
away from the lips.
Body-worn operation
 Always place the radio in an HYT approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body
harness for this product. Use of non-HYT-approved accessories may exceed
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Antennas & Batteries
 Use only HYT approved, supplied antenna or HYT approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and
may violate FCC regulations.
