Ritron SLX Series User Manual page 22

Your Ritron SLX Series 2-way radio complies with the following RF
energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code
of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091
and 2.1093
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-
1999 Edition
RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE AND CONTROL GUIDELINES AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/
controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following
procedures.
GUIDELINES:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• This user manual should accompany device when
transferred to other users.
• 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), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button.
To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50%
of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in
terms of measuring for standards compliance).
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the
microphone (and the other parts of the radio, including the
antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose.
Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important
because RF exposures decrease with distance from the
antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes.

• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Ritron
approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this
product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important
be cause the use of Ritron or other manufacturer's non-
approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which
exceed the FCC's occupational/controlled environment RF
exposure limits.
• If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using
the radio in the intended use position in front of the face,
then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least 2.5
cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the
radio at the proper distance is important because RF
exposures decrease with increasing distance from the
antenna.
• Use only Ritron approved supplied or replacement antennas,
batteries, and accessories. Use of non- Ritron approved
antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
• For a list of Ritron approved accessories see this user
manual, or visit http://www.ritron.com, or call Ritron at
