RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with
the occupational/controlled environment exposure
limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:

Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the
device.

User awareness instructions should accompany
device when transferred to other users.

Do not use this device if the operational
requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions

Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50%
of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk
(PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT
button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is
important because this radio generates measurable
RF energy exposure when transmitting (in terms of
measuring for standards compliance).

Hold the radio in a vertical position in
front of the face with the microphone
(and other parts of the radio including
the antenna) at least 2.5 centimeters
(one inch) away from the nose or lips.
Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping
the radio at a proper distance is important since RF
exposures decrease with increasing distance from
the antenna.

When worn on the body, always place the radio in a
Vertex Standard approved clip, The use of non-
Vertex Standard
approved accessories may result
in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC
occupational/controlled environment RF exposure
