Safety Precautions
• Do not operate the transmitter in close
proximity to blasting caps.
• Do not operate the radio in an explosive
atmosphere (petroleum fuels, solvents, dust,
etc.) unless your radio is an intrinsically safe
model designed for such use.
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE 2-WAY RADIO,
READ THIS IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND
CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC’S RF EXPOSURE
GUIDELINES.
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 electric power, radar, 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. The energy levels associated with radio
waves from portable 2-way radios, when properly used, are not great
enough to cause biological damage.
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
