OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING
ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE
OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT:
LOCATION:
Be aware that this radio and /
or antenna may create interference with, or
be interfered with, by nearby electronic
equipment such as computers, monitors,
keyboards, electronic telephones and other
sensitive devices. Either move the
equipment or use a remote antenna to
separate components sufficiently to stop or
reduce interference.
MOISTURE:
MURS base radios are not
waterproof. DO NOT directly expose them to
rain or excessive moisture.
CHEMICALS:
Detergents, alcohol, aerosol
sprays or petroleum products can damage
the radio case. DO NOT use petroleum
solvents of any kind; use a soft cloth
moistened with water to clean the case.
EXTREME HEAT:
High temperatures can
damage the radio and its components. DO
NOT expose the units to extreme heat or
leave them in direct sunlight.
EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS:
DO NOT
hold the Push-To-Talk switch down longer
than necessary during transmission
intervals.
VIBRATION / SHOCK:
Although your MURS
base radio is designed to be rugged, it will
not survive excessive abuse. Avoid dropping
the radio.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY:
These products generate radio frequency (RF) energy when the PTT button on the
front of the unit is depressed. The product has 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. Antennas other than
those mentioned 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.
JBS -146M:
To comply with the General Population / Uncontrolled limits, all persons
must be at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) from the AFB-1545 antenna which is supplied by
RITRON to be attached 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
remain 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 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.
