RF ENERGY COMPLIANCE
for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure
guidelines, your radio generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking),
not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your Simoco two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR
part 2 sub-part J.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1-1992.
Australian Communications Authority Radio Communications Standard et seq.
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
Industry Canada RSS-102.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To
control
exposure
to
yourself
and
others
and
ensure
compliance
with
the
Occupational/Controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
User awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to other users.
This radio meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the Simoco accessories
supplied or designated for the product. The designated Simoco belt clip type is PAR-
600CLIP and the extension speaker microphone types are PAR-9180LMS2-2, PAR-
9180LMW1 and PAR-600LMS4. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with
the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines and may violate FCC regulations.
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Instructions:
The radio transmitter power output is 5 Watts for PTT controlled, held-to-face or bodyworn
applications in analogue systems, or for DMR systems, 5 Watts burst power.
For radios enabled for held-to-ear Duplex operation in DMR systems, the transmitter power
output is 2.5 Watts burst power.
For operation in held-to-face or bodyworn applications, 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 (listen), release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is
important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
For operation in DMR systems using Duplex held-to-ear applications, PTT control is not
required, but calls should always be kept as short as possible.
Do not operate the radio without an approved antenna attached, as this may cause the FCC
RF exposure limits to be exceeded. With this product, only use an antenna supplied or
approved by Simoco.
When using the radio in Handheld in front of face position, always keep the radio at least
5 cm (2.0 inches) from the face when transmitting. When using the radio in a Bodyworn
position, use only Simoco accessories that will ensure the correct compliance distance of at
least 12 mm (0.45 inches) from the body. This radio has been tested for RF exposure
compliance at the distances listed in
