FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
REGULATIONS
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for
portable 2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as
a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to
control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be
facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information.
Your 2-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, the owner’s and service manuals
include information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to
satisfy compliance requirements.
COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
Your 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international
standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at operating duty factors of up to 50%
transmitting and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only
.
In terms of measuring RF
energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF
energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in
Standby Mode. Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty
factor (5% talk-5% listen - 90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC
occupational RF exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.
Your 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and 2.1093
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992
