VHF Marine Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual
RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE AND CONTROL
GUIDELINES AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-
To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF
energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). Hold
the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other parts of the
radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping the radio at
the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna.
Antenna should be kept away from eyes.
