Your Advanced Wireless Communications two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with
a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human
exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC
exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during
talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Portable Two-Way Radios
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/con-trolled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures:
*Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To
receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time or less is important since the
radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
standards compliance).
* For body-worn operation, always place the radio in an AWC approved belt-clip or similar
accessory that contains no metallic components and provides a minimum separation distance of
1.3 cm between the back of the radio and the user’s body. AWC approved accessories, antennas,
and device combinations comply with the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
Using non-AWC approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s
occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. AWC-approved accessories have been
tested and comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.
*If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio held in front of the face,
ensure the radio is kept at a minimum of 1.3 cm from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio
