This Kenwood transceiver has been tested and complies with the standards listed below, in regards

to Radio Frequency (RF) energy and electromagnetic energy (EME) generated by the transceiver.

FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only . RF Exposure limits adopted by the FCC are generally

•

based on recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, & the

American National Standards Institute.

This

transceiver generates RF EME while transmitting. RF EME (Radio Frequency Electric &

Kenwood

Magnetic Energy) has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your body less

than the recommended distance from this radio transmitter's antenna. RF energy exposure is determined

primarily by the distance to and the power of the transmitting device. In general, RF exposure is minimized

when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is kept to the minimum required for consistent

communications, and the greatest distance possible from the antenna to the body is maintained. The

transceiver has been designed for and is classified for Occupational Use Only . Occupational/ controlled

exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed to RF energy as a consequence

of their employment, and such persons have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can

exercise control over their exposure. This means you can use the transceiver only if you are aware of

the potential hazards of operating a transceiver and are familiar in ways to minimize these hazards. This

transceiver is not intended for use by the general public in uncontrolled environments. Uncontrolled

environment exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed to RF

energy, or in which the persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be fully

aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure.

The following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RF

exposure and of how to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are not

exceeded.

•

While transmitting (holding the PTT switch or speaking with VOX enabled), always keep the antenna

and the radio at least 3 cm (1 3/16 inches) from your body or face, as well as from any bystanders. A

LED on the top of the radio shows red when the transmitter is operating in both PTT and VOX modes.

•

Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the total use

time may exceed the limits in accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements. Nominal transceiver

operation is 5% transmission time, 5% reception time, and 90% stand-by time.

•

Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either the antenna provided with the

transceiver or another antenna authorized by

Use only Kenwood authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips, Speaker/ Mics or

headsets etc.): When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Kenwood recommended clip or

carrying case meant for this product. The use of other than recommended or approved body- worn

accessories may result in RF exposure levels which exceed the FCC's occupational/ controlled

environment RF exposure limits.

To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for occupational use, you must

observe and adhere to the above points.
