Federal Communication Commission (Fcc) Regulations - Vertex Standard VZ-88 Operating Manual

All Vertex Standard two-way radios are designed,
manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet
government- established RF exposure levels. In
addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform
users about RF energy exposure and provide simple
procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more
information on what RF energy exposure is and how to
control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits:

Federal Communication Commission
(FCC) Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with
the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable
two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S.
When two-way radios are used as a consequence of
employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware
of and able to control their exposure to meet
occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a product label directing
users to specific user awareness information. Your
Vertex Standard two-way radio has a RF Exposure
Product Label. Also, your Vertex Standard user manual
or separate safety booklet includes information and
4
operating instructions required to control your RF
exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your Vertex Standard two-way radio is designed and
tested to comply with a number of national and
International standards and guidelines (listed below)
for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the
IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure
environments at operating duty factors of up to
50% talk–50% listen and is authorized by the FCC
for occupational use only.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with
these exposure guidelines, your radio generates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking), not when it is receiving (listening)
or in standby mode.
NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio,
are rated for a 5–5–90 duty factor (5% talk–5%
listen–90% standby) even though this radio complies
with FCC occupational exposure limits and may
operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk
Your Vertex Standard two-way radio complies with
the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
