RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION
This UNIMO transceiver has been tested and complies with the standards listed below, in regards to
radio Frequency(RF) energy electromagnetic energy(EME) generated by the transceiver
>
FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational use only. RF exposure limits adopted by the FCC are
generally based on recommendations from the national council on radiation protection and measurement,
& the American National National Standards Institute.
> FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C
> American National Standards Institute(C95.1-1992)
> American National Standards Institute(C95.3-1992)
WARNING
This UNIMO transceiver generates RF EME while transmitting. RF EME(Radio Frequency Electric &
Magnetic Energy)has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your body
less than the recommended distance from this radio transmitter's antenna.
RF energy exposure is determined primarily by the distance to and the power of the transmitting device.
In general, RF exposure is minimized when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is kept
to the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatest distance possible from the
antenna to the body is maintain.
The
transceiver
has
been
designed
for
and
is
classified
for
Occupational
use
only.
Occupational/controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed to RF
energy as a consequence of their employment, and such persons have been made aware of the potential
for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.
This means you can use the transceiver only if you are aware of the hazards of operating a transceiver
and are familiar in ways to minimize these hazards. This transceiver is not intended for use by the
general public in uncontrolled environments.
Uncontrolled environment exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be
exposed to RF energy ,or in which the persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment
may not be fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure
The following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RF
exposure and of how to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are not
exceeded.
> While transmitting(holding the PTT switch), always keep the antenna at least 2.5cm (1 inches) from
your body or face ,as well as from any bystanders
> Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the total
use time may exceed the limits in accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements. Nominal transceiver
operation is 5% transmission time,5% reception time, and 90% stand-by time
> Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either the antenna provided with the
transceiver or another antenna authorized by UNIMO.
Use only UNIMO authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips, Speaker/Mics or headsets
etc.):
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a UNIMO recommended clip or carrying case meant for
this product. The use of other than recommended or approved body-worn accessories may result in RF
exposure levels which exceed the FCC's occupational /controlled environment RF exposure limits.
