7. RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION

Your radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed

for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of

employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This

radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use

Only”. In addition, your XRADIO radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with

regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure

to humans:

■ FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines

for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

■ American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with

Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

■ American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the

Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.

■ The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other

than those (listed in the instruction) specified may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC

requirements for wireless RF exposure. To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy

is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

■ DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio

and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna

supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer

for use with this radio.

■ DO NOT transmits for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%duty cycle”). Transmitting

more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by

pressing the “PTT” switch.

■ ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 3

cm away from the body when

transmitting and only u

se the Xradio bel

t-clip which is listed in instructions when attaching the radio

to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To

provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 3

from your mouth, and slightly of

f to one sid

e. The information listed above provides the user

with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to as-sure

that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electromagnetic

Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your XRADIO radio generates RF energy that

can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off

the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that

are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
