FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE ONLY
The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF energy. Proper
operation of this radio under normal conditions results in user exposure to RF energy
below the Occupational Safety and Health Act and Federal Communication
Commission limits.
Mandatory Safety Instructions to Installers and Users:
This radio is
NOT
approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled
environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use and work related operations
only. Radio operators must have the knowledge to control their exposure conditions
and the exposure conditions of bystanders and/or passengers to satisfy the lower
exposure limit allowed for General Population.
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits,
DO NOT
operate the transmitter of this mobile
radio when a person outside the vehicle is within 38 inches (1 meter) of the antenna for
mid-power radios, or 78 inches (2 meters) of the antenna for high power radios.
The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must be mounted at a
location such that during radio transmission, no person or persons can come closer
than the above indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna, i.e. 38 inches. To
comply with current FCC RF exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or
exceeding the minimum safe distance stated above, and in accordance with the
requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier.
Vehicle Installation Instructions:
The antenna used for this transmitter must be mounted on the center of the roof ONLY
and must be installed in vehicle having the following characteristics in order to prevent
bystanders and passengers from being exposed to levels exceeding the limits for
General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure environment:
1.
All passengers must be sitting under a solid metal roof.
2.
Rooftop width must be at least 76 inches (183 centimeters) OR the edges of the
physical boundary of the vehicle must be at least 76 inches apart.
DO NOT
operate the radio without the proper antenna installed. Do not substitute any
antenna for the one supplied or recommended by the manufacturer or radio dealer. The
antenna gain must not exceed 0 dBd. By not following the antenna recommendations
you may be exposing person(s) to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact
your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions.
DO NOT
transmit more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting
for more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements
to be exceeded. This radio is transmitting whenever the
TX
icon is displayed on the
radio LCD. Pressing the PTT switch on the side of the microphone normally causes the
radio to transmit.
The preceding information is provided to make you aware of RF exposure and
how to ensure that this radio is operated within FCC RF exposure limits.
You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions
of bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance, stated above for satisfying
FCC RF exposure compliance, is maintained between the antenna and nearby
persons. Transmit only when all person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the
properly installed, externally mounted antenna.
