Accessories
The radio has been tested and meets FCC RF guidelines when used with M/A-COM accessories supplied
or designated for use with it. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF
exposure guidelines, and may violate FCC regulations. For a list of approved accessories refer to section 4
in this manual (begins on page 14) and/or M/A-COM’s Products and Services Catalog.
1.3.3 Contact
Information
For additional information on RF exposure and other information, contact M/A-COM using one of the
contact links listed in section 3.3 on page 13.
1.4 OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND SAFETY TRAINING
