NFORMATION

Your wireless handheld
portable transceiver contains
a low power transmitter. When
the Push-To-Talk (

PTT

) button

is pressed, it sends out radio
frequency signals. The device
is authorized to operate at a
duty factor not to exceed fifty
percent. In August 1996, the
Federal Communications
Commission adopted RF
exposure guidelines with
safety levels for handheld
wireless devices.

CAUTION

To maintain com-
pliance with the
FCC’s RF expo-
sure guidelines,
hold the transmitter
and antenna at
least 2 inches from
your face and speak
in a normal voice,
with the antenna
pointed up and
away from your
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 the antenna
is at least 1 inch
(2.5cm) from your
body.
Use only the
supplied antenna.
Unauthorized
antennas,
modifications, or
attachments could
damage the
transmitter and
may violate FCC
regulations.
