MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALLERS AND USERS 

 

• Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antenna. 
• Antenna Minimum Safe Distance: 

120 cm (4 feet), 50% duty Cycle. 

• Antenna Gain: 

dBd referenced to a dipole. 

 
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human 
exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety 
and Health Act) limits. 
 
• Antenna Mounting: The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must not be 

mounted at a location such that during radio transmission, any person or persons can 
come closer than the above indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna, i.e. 

120 cm 

(4 feet) , 50% duty Cycle.

 

• To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or 

exceeding the minimum safe distance shown above, and in accordance with the 
requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier. 

• Vehicle installation: The antenna can be mounted at the center of a vehicle metal roof or 

trunk lid, if the minimum safe distance is observed. 

• Base

 

Station Installation: The antenna should be

 

fixed-mounted

 

on an outdoor permanent 

structure. RF Exposure compliance must be addressed at the time of installation. 

 
Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended 
by the manufacturer or radio dealer. 
You may be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may 
contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions. 
 

 

 

 

Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) of at least 

120 cm (4 feet) , 50% duty Cycle. 

 

 

“This transmitter is authorized to operate with a maximum duty factor of 50%, in typical 
push-to-talk mode, for satisfying FCC RF exposure compliance requirements.” 

 

You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of 
bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the 
antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The operation of this 
transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure 
Environment, for work-related use, transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum 
distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna. Transmit only when 
people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away 
the antenna/vehicle
