Controlling your exposure to RF energy
This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a form of
electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight), and there are
recommended levels of maximum RF exposure.
To control your exposure to RF and comply with the
maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled
environments, follow these guidelines:
■
Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated
transmit duty cycle. This is important because the
radio radiates more energy when it is transmitting
than when it is receiving.
■
When listening and talking on the radio, hold it upright
in front of your face so that it is at least one inch
(2.5 cm) away from any part of your face. Keeping the
radio at the recommended distance is important
because exposure to RF decreases rapidly the further
away the antenna is from your body.
■
Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your
face at all times.
■
If you wear your radio, you must always put it in a
carrying accessory that has been specifically
approved by Tait for this radio. Using non-
approved body-worn accessories may mean you
expose yourself to higher levels of RF than recom-
mended by the FCC’s occupational/controlled
environment RF exposure limits.
■
Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, batter-
ies, and accessories.

control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at
