Product Safety and RF Exposure
This equipment is intended for use in occupational / controlled applications
where users have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can
exercise control over their exposure. This radio device is NOT authorized for the
general population, consumer or similar use cases.
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO DEVICE, READ ALL RELATIVE MATERIALS
IN THIS MANUAL FOR IMPORTANT OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SAFE USAGE, RF ENERGY AWARENESS, AND CONTROL INFORMATION
FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF)
emissions from radio devices. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate
compliance with RF exposure limits before radio devices may be marketed in
the U.S. When two-way radios and repeaters are approved for occupational
/ controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully
aware of, and exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and control of
RF exposure can be accomplished using labels, or by education and training
through appropriate means such as information and instructions in user
manuals or safety booklets. Your Advanced Wireless Communications’ two-way
radio or repeater has an RF exposure information label on the device. The
training material below includes useful information about RF exposure and
helpful instructions.
Your Advanced Wireless Communications two-way radio devices are designed
and tested to comply with several national and international standards and
guidelines regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. In terms of
measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure guidelines, your radio
device radiates measurable RF energy only while transmitting, not when it is
receiving, or in stand-by mode.
WARNING
As the qualified end-user of this radio device you must control the exposure
conditions in the area to ensure the minimum separation distance is maintained
between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure
compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of
Occupational/Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-related use, transmit
only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly
installed, externally mounted antenna. Transmit only when people outside
the vehicle or away from the repeater antenna are at least the recommended
minimum lateral distance away from the antenna/vehicle.
Maintain a separation distance from the antenna of any person(s) of at
least 180 cm (6-feet).
