CHANNEL OPERATIONS
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and
ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedure: Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
• To receive calls, release the PTT button.
• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or
less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).
TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE PROCEDURE
Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate
compliance. Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna
reduces the effective range. Do not use the radio if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged
antenna makes contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To
avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off
your radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care
facilities.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15cm) be maintained between a radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations
are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration
People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket (Handheld Radio).
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
