RF Energy Exposure Awareness,
Control Information and Operational
Instructions for Occupational Use
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in
occupational/controlled conditions where users
have full knowledge of their exposure and can
exercise control over their exposure to meet the
occupational limits in FCC and International
standards. This radio device is NOT authorized for
general population consumer use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the
radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a
distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves to send and receive calls.
RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy.
Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and
x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused
with these other forms of electromagnetic energy,
which when used improperly, can cause biological
damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can
damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and
industry work with organizations to develop standards
for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards
provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both
workers and the general public. These recommended
RF exposure levels include substantial margins of
protection.
