    Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. L3Harris assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these standards.

  • Page 9: Federal Communications Commission Regulations

    FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION REGULATIONS Before it was marketed in the United States, the XL Series mobile radio was tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy exposure limits for two-way mobile radios. 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.

  • Page 10: Mobile Antennas

    Based on the highest radiated RF power and the highest antenna gain in antennas to be used with the XL Series mobile radio, the distances listed are considered as safe distances for controlled and uncontrolled environments with the XL Series mobile radio transmitting at a maximum 50% duty cycle.
