Product Safety and RF Exposure for Portable Two-Way Radios Compliance with RF Energy
Exposure Standards
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled applications where users have been made
aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This radio device is NOT
authorized for general population, consumer or similar use.
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THE TRAINING MATERIAL BELOW WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from portable two-way
radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits before portable
two-way radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for occupational/controlled
environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and exercise control over, their
exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished by the use of labels, or by education
and training through appropriate means such as information and instructions in user manuals or safety
booklets. Your Advanced Wireless Communications’ two-way radio has an RF exposure information label in the
battery compartment. The training material below includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful
instructions.

Your Advanced Wireless Communications two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number
of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure guidelines,
your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving
(listening) or in standby mode.
Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Portable Two-Way Radios To control your
exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere
to the following procedures:
*Transmit no more than 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 since the radio generates measurable
RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).
* For body-worn operation, always place the radio in an AWC approved belt-clip or similar accessory that
contains no metallic components and provides a minimum separation distance of 1.3 cm between the back of
the radio and the user’s body. AWC approved accessories, antennas, and device combinations comply with
the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. Using non-AWC approved accessories may result
in exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. AWC
approved accessories have been tested and comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.
*If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio held in front of the face, ensure the
radio is kept at a minimum of 1.3 cm from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio
3 4

at a proper distance is important since RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from the antenna.
*Use only FCC-approved, supplied or replacement headsets, batteries, and accessories intended for use with
this radio. Use of non-FCC approved headsets, batteries and accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure
guidelines.

INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment o󰀨 and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit di󰀨erent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult with the dealer for technical assistance.
SAFETY INFORMATION:
Your wireless portable two-way radio has been designed using a low power transmitter. When the PTT switch
is pressed, the radio generates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). This radio is designed to
comply with the FCC Report and Order FCC 96-326 (August, 1996).
