WARNING! FCC RF EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS

This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) RF exposure limits for Occupational Use/Controlled expo-
sure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Standards and
Guidelines:
FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Ra-
dio-Frequency Radiation.
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (2001) Supplement C, Evaluating Com-
pliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields.
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to
300 GHz.
ANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measure-
ment of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave.
WARNING:
This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This
radio is designed for and classified as Occupational Use Only, meaning it
must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of
the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is not in-
tended for use by the General Population in an uncontrolled environment.
CAUTION:
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC
allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guide-
lines:
This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncon-
trolled exposure environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use,
work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowl-
edge to control his or her RF exposure conditions.
When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone
1 inche (2.5 cm) away from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 1
inches (2.5 cm) away from your head and body.
The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceed-
ing 50%, in typical Push-to-Talk configurations.
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 expo-
sure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
