RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION,
AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE
REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE 2-WAY RADIO, READ THIS IMPORTANT RF
ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC'S RF EXPOSURE
GUIDELINES
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
FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any
other use.
This 2-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, electric power, 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 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. All 2-way radios marketed in North America 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 2-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide
simple procedures on how to control it.
information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure
compliance with established RF exposure limits.

The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for
portable 2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-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
Federal Communications Commission Regulations
