Your radio is designed and tested to comply with a number
of national and international standards and guidelines
(listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. this radio complies with the iEEE
and icnirp exposure limits for occupational/controlled rF
exposure environment at operating duty factors of up to 50%
transmitting and is authorised 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 in ptt mode), not when it is receiving (listening) or
in standby mode.
the device complies with sar and/or rF field strength limits
of rss-102 requirements.
RF Radiation SaFety
in order to ensure user health, experts from relevant
industries including science, engineering, medicine and health
work with international organizations to develop standards
for safe exposure to rF radiation. these standards consist of:
•
united states Federal communications commission,
code of Federal regulations; 47cFr part 2 sub-part J;
•
american national standards institute (ansi)/institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (iEEE) c95. 1-1992;

1-1999;
•
international commission on non-ionizing radiation
protection (icnirp) 1998;
FCC Regulations
Federal communication commission (Fcc) requires that all
radio communication products should meet the requirements
set forth in the above standards before they can be marketed
