exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All 2-way radios marketed in
North America 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 instructions on how to
control it. Please refer to the following website for more information on what RF energy
exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF
exposure limits.

Federal Communications Commission Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with FCC RF energy exposure limits for
portable 2-way radios before they can be marketed in the US. When 2-way radios are
used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and
able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness
can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness
information. Your Datron 2-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also your
Datron user manual includes information and operating instructions required to control
your RF exposure to satisfy compliance requirements.
COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
Your Datron 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio compiles with IEEE and ICNIRP exposure
limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at operating duty factors of
up to 50 % transmitting and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In terms
of measuring RF energy for compliance with the 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. The approved batteries supplied with this
radio are rated at 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk- 5% Listen 90% standby), even though this
radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure limits and may operate at duty
factors of up to 50 % talk.
Your Datron 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
