Radio frequency exposure information
Forindividualsafetyandtoensurecompliancewiththeradiofrequency(RF)exposureguidelinesofthe
UnitedStatesFederalCommunicationCommission’s(FCC),IndustryCanada,andthosefromother
administrations,pleasereadthefollowinginformationbeforeusingthisradio.
Using this radio

fullyawareof,andcanexercisecontrolover,exposuretoRFenergy.TopreventexceedingFCCRFexposurelimits,
theusermustcontroltheamountanddurationofRFthattheyandotherpeopleareexposedto.
Itisalsoimportantthatyou:
•DonotremovetheRFExposurelabelfromtheradio.
•EnsurethisRFexposureinformationaccompaniestheradiowhenitistransferredtootherusers.
•DonotusetheradioifyoudonotadheretotheguidelinesoncontrollingyourexposuretoRF.
Controlling exposure to RF energy
Thisradioemitsradiofrequency(RF)energyorradiowavesprimarilywhencallsaremade.RFisaformofelec-
tromagneticenergy(asissunlight),andtherearerecommendedlevelsofmaximumRFexposure.
TocontrolyourexposuretoRFandcomplywiththemaximumexposurelimitsforoccupational/controlledenvir-
onments,followtheseguidelines:
•Donottalk(transmit)ontheradiomorethantheratedtransmitdutycycle.Thisisimportantbecausetheradio
radiatesmoreenergywhenitistransmittingthanwhenitisreceiving.
•Whenlisteningandtalkingontheradio,holdituprightinfrontofyourfacesothatitisatleastoneinch(2.5cm)
awayfromanypartofyourface.Keepingtheradioattherecommendeddistanceisimportantbecause
exposuretoRFdecreasesrapidlythefurtherawaytheantennaisfromyourbody.
•Keeptheantennaatleastoneinch(2.5cm)fromyourfaceatalltimes.
•Ifyouwearyourradio,youmustalwaysputitinacarryingaccessorythathasbeenspecificallyapprovedby
Taitforthisradio.Usingnon-approvedbody-wornaccessoriesmaymeanyouexposeyourselftohigherlevels
ofRFthanrecommendedbytheFCC’soccupational/controlledenvironmentRFexposurelimits.
•EnsureyouonlyuseTait-approvedantennas,batteries,andaccessories.
FormoreinformationonwhatRFenergyisandhowtocontrolyourexposuretoit,visittheFCCwebsiteat
