Important Safety Information
58
To assure optimal performance and that human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth
in the above standards, always adhere to the following
procedures:
Portable Communicator Operation and EME Exposure
•
When placing or receiving a Phone Call, hold the
Communicator as you would a telephone. Speak directly
into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and over
your shoulder.
•
When using the Communicator as a
two-way radio, hold the device in a
vertical position with the microphone 1
to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters)
away from your mouth. Keep the
antenna at least 1 inch (2.5
centimeters) from your head and body.
•
For body-worn operation, the antenna
should be kept at least 1 inch (2.5
centimeters) from the body when
transmitting.
•
DO NOT hold the antenna when the Communicator is "IN
USE." Holding the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the Communicator to operate at a higher power level
than needed.
Electromagnetic Interference / Compatibility
N
OTE:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your Communicator in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
