CONTROL INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE 

REQUIREMENTS 

BEFORE USING YOUR MOBILE  2-WAY RADIO, READ THE 

INFORMATION BELOW WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY 

AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE 

WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL 

AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS. 

NOTICE: 

  This radio is intended for use in 

occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full 
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over 
their exposure to meet FCC limits.  This radio device is NOT 
authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use. 

This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency 
(RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users 
over a distance.  It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to 
send and receive calls.  RF energy is one form of electromagnetic 
energy; other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. 
RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of 
electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause 
biological damage.  Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can 
damage tissues and genetic material.  

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work 
with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. 
These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both 
workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure 
levels include substantial margins of protection. All 2-way radios are 
designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government 
established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also 
recommend specific operating instructions to users of 2-way radios. 

These instructions are important because they inform users about RF 
energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.  
Please refer to the following WEBSITES for more information on what 
RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure 
compliance with established RF exposure limits.
