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 key or speaking with VOX enabled),
always keep the antenna and the radio at least 3 cm (1.18 inches) from your
body or face, as well as from any bystanders. A LED on the top of the radio
shows red when the transmitter is operating in both PTT and VOX modes.
•
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
Alinco.
Use only Alinco authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips,
Speaker/ Mics or headsets etc.): When worn on the body, always place the
radio in a Alinco 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.
CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for
occupational use, you must observe and adhere to the above points.
■ Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility
Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
they are not adequately shielded or designed for electromagnetic
compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy, it can cause
interference to such equipment.
•
Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and
health care facilities use equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic
radiation.
•
Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed.
Use of the transceiver must be in accordance with airline regulations and/or
crew instructions.
