FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE
ONLY
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General Docket 93-62,
November 7, 1997, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Proper operation of this
radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
and Federal Communications Commission limits.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than
50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
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 radio operator must have the
knowledge to control the user's exposure conditions for satisfying the higher exposure limit allowed for
occupational use.
When transmitting, hold the mic 2 to 4 from your mouth when speaking.
The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the front of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the
radio to transmit by pressing the PTT bar on the microphone.
These are required operating configurations for meeting FCC RF exposure compliance. Failure to
observe these restrictions means violation.
This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
