1.2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Before using the mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and control
information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
NOTE
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 remain
below RF exposure limits. This radio is NOT authorized for general population,
consumer, or any other use.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by M/A-COM, Inc. could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and
receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited
to, electric power, 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.
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 two-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
