Safety Precaution

Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power 

transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed 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 Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure 

guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.
To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines 

hold the transmitter and antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) 

from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna 

pointed up and away from the face. If you wear the handset 

on your body while using the headset accessory, use only the 

supplied belt clip for this product and when transmitting, take it 

out of the belt to ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 

centimeters) from your body.
