 When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from
your mouth and keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your head and body.
 The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-
Talk configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Trans-
mitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
