SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Warning: Please Read Carefully
A transceiver generates RF (Radio Frequency) electromagnetic energy while transmitting. This Alinco
transceiver is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use Only", meaning it must be used minimum
necessary only during the course of employment by employees aware of the hazards, and the ways
to minimize such hazards. This transceiver is NOT intended for use by the "General Population" in an
uncontrolled environment. This transceiver has been required "SAR-Standard" tested and complies with
the FCC RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only".
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the allowable limits for occupational
use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
•
DO NOT operate the transceiver without a proper antenna attached, as it may damage the transceiver
and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the genuine antenna
supplied with this transceiver by Alinco or ones specifically authorized by the antenna manufacturer for
use with this transceiver.
•
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% during the time of employment (50% duty cycle or less).
Transmitting excessive amount of time can cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be
exceeded. Please carefully read this instruction manual to learn how to transmit and stop transmitting
before starting to use it.
•
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 3 cm (1 inch) away from your body when transmitting and only use
the original belt clips when attaching the transceiver to your body (Unauthorized attachment devices may
help radiating more electromagnetic energy). To obtain the best sound quality during communications,
hold the antenna at least 6 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
