Safety Information
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with its
action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985 has
adopted a safety standard for the human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-
regulated equipment. Proper operation of this radio will
result in user exposure substantially below the FCC recom-
mended limits.
Your hand-held portable radio
should be held in a vertical
position with the microphone
2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inches)
from the mouth and the
antenna should be kept 2.5 to
5 cm (1 to 2 inches) away from
the head or body when trans-
mitting. For body worn opera-
tion, the antenna should be
kept at least 2.5 cm (one inch)
away from the body when
transmitting.
DO NOT hold the transmit PTT button on when not actually
desiring to transmit.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment
containing a transmitter.
DO NOT operate a portable transmitter near unshielded
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere
unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
DO NOT operate the radio with a headset or other audio
accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise
against continuous high volume operation. If you experi-
ence a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or dis-
continue use.
