SYStEM:
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
–Your product is a low power
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, The Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for handheld wireless radios. Those guidelines
are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies: American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992; National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86; International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996. Those standards
were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant
scientific literature. For example, over 130 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1). The design of your radio complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
For body-worn and face-held operation, this radio demonstrates
compliance and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for
uncontrolled exposure (general population) when used with approved
accessories supplied with or designed for this product. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
Antenna Care
–Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and
may violate FCC regulations.
Warning: Do not use any radio that
has a damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your
skin, a minor burn can result.
Electronic Devices
–Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless radio.
Pacemakers
–The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
(HIMA) recommends that a minimum separation of six inches
(6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with
pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches
from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should not carry
the radio in a breast pocket, should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference, and should turn the radio
off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is
