...........................................
These products generate radio frequency (RF) energy when the
ON/PTT button on the front of the unit is depressed. These
products have been evaluated for compliance with the maximum
permissible exposure limits for RF energy at the maximum power
rating of the unit when using antennas available from RITRON.
These products are not to be used by the general public in an
uncontrolled environment unless compliance with the Uncon-
trolled / General Population limits for RF exposure can be as-
sured.
Antennas other than those available from RITRON listed below
have not been tested for compliance and may or may not meet
the exposure limits at the distances given. Higher gain antennas
are capable of generating higher fields in the strongest part of
their field and would, therefore, require a greater separation from
the antenna.
R-446 Models:
To comply with the General Population / Uncon-
trolled limits, all persons must be at least 8.7 inches (22 cm) from
the AFB-1545 antenna which is supplied by RITRON to be at-
tached directly to the rear of the unit. For the RITRON RAM-
1545 magnet mount antenna, which can be located away from
the unit, all persons must be at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) from the
antenna.
R-146 Models:
To comply with the General Population / Uncon-
trolled limits, all persons must be at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) from
the AFB-1545 antenna which is supplied by RITRON to be at-
tached directly to the top of the unit. For the RITRON RAM-1545
magnet mount antenna, which can be located away from the
unit, all persons must be at least 10.8 inches (28 cm) from the
antenna. To limit exposure to RF energy to levels below the limit,
please observe the following:
•
Use only the antenna(s) available from RITRON for these
models.
DO NOT
operate the radio without an antenna.
•
Keep talk times as short and infrequent as possible.
DO
NOT
depress the
ON/PTT
button when not actually wishing
to transmit. These radios are equipped with an internal timer
to limit continuous transmit times.
•
When transmitting, make certain that the distance limits for
the particular model in use are observed.
•
DO NOT
allow children to operate the radio.
When used as
directed, this series of radios is designed to comply
with the FCC’s RF exposure limits for “Uncontrolled /
General Population”. In addition, they are designed to
comply with the following Standards and Guidelines
:
•
FCC OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01, Supplement C, Evalu-
ating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992),
IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3
kHz to 300 GHz.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave
Safety Standards
The FCC (with its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13,
1985) has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated equipment. Ritron observes these guidelines and
recommends that you do also:
• DO NOT hold the radio so that the antenna is very close to
or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face
or eyes, while transmitting. Keep the radio vertical, eight
inches away while talking into the front panel.
• DO NOT press the Push-To-Talk except when you intend to
transmit.
• DO NOT operate radio equipment near electrical blasting
caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
• DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment
that contains a transmitting device.
• Repair of Ritron products should be performed only by
Ritron authorized personnel.
