WARNING
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-
to-Talk (PTT) button is pressed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is
authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-
held wireless devices.
To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its antenna
must maintain a separation distance of least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a
normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required separation
distance. The belt clip is for storage purposes only. DO NOT TRANSMIT WHILE USING THE
BELT CLIP. To transmit, hold the device away from your body and ensure the antenna is at least
2 inches (5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.
