INFORMATION
SAFETY TRAINING
WARNING:
This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmission.
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 intended for use by the "GeneralPopulation"
in an uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure
Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the
following two conditions:
1.The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2.The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept
at a distance of 63 centimeters or more between the transmitting
antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small
vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at
any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 63
centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met,
the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 63 centimeters
away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against
exposure to bystanders.
CAUTION:
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within
the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the
following guidelines:
•
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as
this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC
RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this
radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the
manufacturer for use with this radio.
•
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% during the time of employment
(50% duty cycle or less). Transmitting excessive amount of time can
cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. Please
carefully read this instruction manual to learn how to transmit and stop
transmitting before starting to use it.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid
such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to
do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupational/Controlled Use
This product is used in situations that users are exposed to RF as
consequence of their employment provided those users are fully aware
of the potential RF hazards and can exercise control over their exposure.
•
This transceiver is NOT ATEX approved and NOT intended for the use
in hazardous explosive atmospheres.
