Instruction Manual
It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards common to the
operation of any transceiver.
WARNINGS (INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS):
• DO NOT OPERATE the mobile radio when someone outside the vehicle is within
15 inches (39 cms) of the antenna. For example, DO NOT OPERATE the mobile
transceiver when someone is either touching the antenna or in proximity as specified
above to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.
• This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled
environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations
only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure
conditions of passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation
distance of 15 inches (39 cms).
• The mobile must be used in vehicle-mount configurations with a maximum operating
duty cycle not exceeding 50%.
• Failure to observe the above warnings will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure
limits.
• EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.): Turn OFF your
transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations. Do not
carry spare fuel containers in the trunk or your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted
in the trunk area.
• DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS: Operating the transceiver within 500 feet of
dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when
in an area where blasting is in progress, or where "TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO"
signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make
sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit
while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.
ANTENNA AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:
• All equipment must be properly installed in accordance with ComSpace installation
instructions.
• To assure compliance with United Stated FCC regulations on RF exposure, the user
of the equipment must position the antenna in such a way to maintain a separation of
at least 15 inches (39 cms) between the antenna and the body of any user or nearby
person. For example, for rear deck trunk and window installations, the antenna must
be located at least 15 inches (39 cms) away from passengers and any bystanders.
• Ensure that the antenna is properly installed external to the vehicle and in accordance
with the requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier.
• Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could impair call quality, damage the equipment, or result in violation
of the ICNRP or the FCC.
