Guidelines (United States and Canada)
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION
AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE
REQUIREMENTS.
Before using your TMC Radio mobile two-way radio, read this important RF
energy awareness and control information and operational instructions to
ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines.
NOTICE:
This radio is intended for use in Occupational/ controlled
conditions in a mobile application where users have full knowledge of
their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC
limits. This radio device is NOT authorised for general population,
consumer, or any other use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a
distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and
receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms
include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy,
however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic
energy, which when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These
standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure forboth workers and
the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed is North
America are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet
government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These
instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy
exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to
the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and
how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF
exposure limits.
