Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic
Fields- RF and Microwave.
TO ENSURE THAT YOUR EXPOSURE TO RF ELECTROMAGNETIC
ENERGY IS WITHIN THE FCC ALLOWABLE LIMITS FOR OCCUPATIONAL
USE, ALWAYS ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
•
Do not operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may cause
damage to the radio as well as cause the RF exposure to exceed the FCC
limits. The proper antenn is supplied with the radio, do not use any other
antenna not approved by the manufacturer.
•
Do not transmit more than 50% of the total radio use time. Transmitting more
than the recommended 50% can cause FCC RF exposure requirements to be
exceeded. The radio transmits when the PTT switch is pushed and the RED
TX LED (indicator) is illuminated.
•
Always use SmartComm USA authorized accessories (antennas, batteries,
speaker microphones, belt clips, etc). Use of any unauthorized accessories
can cause the RF exposure to exceed the FCC limits.
•
Always keep the antenna at least 1cm (3/8 in) away from the body when
transmitting to ensure that the FCC exposure limits are not exceeded. To
ensure the best signal quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 in) from the
mouth and slightly to one side.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE / COMPATIBILITY
During transmissions the radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference
with other systems or devices. To avoid such interference never operate the radio in RX
or TX where signs are posted not to use transceivers. Do not use the radio in areas that
are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. Some examples of these locations are
hospitals, blasting sites and airports.
