1. GETTING STARTED 1.1 Regulations and Safety Warnings ATTENTION! To help you ward off bodily injury or property loss that may arise from improper operation, please read all the information carefully before using our products. This contains instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for compliance with applicable standards and regulation. - Page 6 • Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. Operating Instructions: • Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) key. To receive calls, release the [PTT] key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
