SAFETY INFORMATION
Your portable contains a low power transmitter. Then the Push-to-Talk button is pushed
it sends out radio frequency 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 devices USE only the
supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the transceiver and may violate FCC regulations.
CAUTION! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or
touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform the best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in (5 to 10 cm) away from
the lips and the transceiver is held in the vertical position.
NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume
levels.
NEVER short the battery terminals.
NEVER press the PTT key unless transmitting.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures
below +14 F (-10 C) or above +122 F (+50 C). The basic operations, transmit, receive
are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range.
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason
SAFETY INFORMATION
Your transceiver generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio
is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only” meaning it must be used
during the course of employment by individuals aware of hazards, ant the techniques to
minimize such hazards. This radio in NOT intended to be used by the General Public,
and in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only”. The radio also complies with the following standards
regarding to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels
for exposure to humans:
•
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating 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, 3kHz to 3000 GHz.
