RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC
OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR MOBILE 2-WAY RADIO, READ THE
INFORMATION BELOW WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS
AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF
ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
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 FCC limits. This radio device
is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use.
This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two 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 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. All 2-way radios are
designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government
established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users of 2-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform users
about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on
how to control it. Please refer to the following websites for more
information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your
exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits.
