RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/ controlled environmental exposure limits, always
adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are unmet.
Operating Instructions:
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) key. To receive
calls, release the [PTT] key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less is important because the radio generates measurable RF
energy only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
• Keep the radio unit at least 2.5cm away from the face. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important as RF exposure
decreases with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be kept away from the face and eyes.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in an approved holder, holster, case, or body harness or by use of the
correct clip for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels that exceed the FCC's
occupational/ controlled environmental RF exposure limits.
• Use of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
• Contact your local dealer for the product's optional accessories.
