!! CAUTIONS ALL RADIOS !!
OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING
ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF
YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT:
MOISTURE:
JMX "D-Series" radios are not
waterproof. DO NOT directly expose them to rain or
excessive moisture.
CHEMICALS:
Detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or
petroleum products can damage the radio case. DO
NOT use petroleum solvents of any kind; use a soft
cloth moistened with water to clean the case.
EXTREME HEAT:
High temperatures can damage the
battery and other components. DO NOT expose the
units to extreme heat or leave them in direct sunlight.
LOW TEMPERATURES:
The capacity of the battery
is greatly reduced in extreme cold. When using the
unit in very cold environments, periodically warm the
radio under your coat.
EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS:
Maximum drain on
battery power occurs when you are transmitting. DO
NOT hold the Push-To-Talk switch down longer than
necessary during transmission intervals. DO NOT
reduce battery service life by attempting to power a
radio with a depleted battery; always charge
batteries overnight after each day of use.
VIBRATION/ SHOCK:
Although your JMX "D-Series"
radio is designed to be rugged, it will not survive
excessive abuse. Avoid dropping the radio.
NOTE:
The optional MH-A holster provides added
protection from weather and shock.
The JMX/SST Series handheld radios generate RF
electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. The
transmit mode is active when the PTT switch is
depressed. This radio is designed for, and classified
as, Occupational Use Only, meaning that it must be
used only during the course of employment by
individuals who are aware of the hazards and the
ways to minimize such hazards. This series of radios
is NOT intended for use by the General Population in
an uncontrolled environment.
When used as directed, this series of radios is
designed to comply with the FCCs RF exposure limits
for Occupational Use Only. In addition, they are
designed to comply with the following Standards and
Guidelines:
FCC OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01, Supplement C,
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromag-
netic Fields.
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-
1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-
1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the
Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromag-
netic Fields-RF and Microwave.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
page
13
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy
is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use,
always adhere to the following guidelines:
Use only the antenna(s) available from RITRON for
these models.
DO NOT
attempt to substitute any
other antenna.
DO NOT
operate the radio without
an antenna.
Keep talk times as short and infrequent as possible.
DO NOT
depress the PTT button when not actually
wishing to transmit. These radios are equipped
with an internal timer to limit continuous transmit
times.
DO NOT
exceed a 50% transmit duty cycle.
When transmitting, hold the radio in front of the
mouth at a distance of at least 4 inches.
DO NOT
hold the radio in such a manner that the antenna is
next to, or touching, exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes while transmitting.
In belt mounted applications, when transmitting,
remove the radio from the belt and hold away from
the body at least 4 inches.
When using external headset accessories, hold the
unit away from the body at least 4 inches while
transmitting.
DO NOT
allow children to operate the radio.
