RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupa-
tional Use
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions where users have full
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the
occupational limits in FCC and International standards. This radio device is NOT authorized
for general population consumer use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum lo provide
communications between tow or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves to send and receive calls RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but
are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms
of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage Very high levels of
x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards
for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both
workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of
protection.
