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
batter compartment. The raining 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 generate 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 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.

Battery information
Battery protection
Advanced Wireless Communications’ (AWC) radios use lightweight,
environmentally friendly lithium-ion batteries as a power source. The following
battery tips will help you to get the best performance and prolong the battery life
of your equipment.
1. Be sure to use the original AWC charger to charge the battery.
2. When charging radios, please power o󰀨 the radios to ensure
battery can be fully and e󰀨ectively charged.
3. New, uninstalled batteries can be stored for long period, but should
be stored in a cool, dry place. (These should be recharged once
every three months to maintain the battery’s electrical properties,
otherwise it will be damaged and will not function properly).
4. New batteries need to be fully charged before use.
5. Use only the battery charger and power supply specied by AWC.
6. Use of non-authorized charging systems will void the warranty of
both the battery and the equipment.

Battery information (continued)
7. Avoid extreme temperatures as this will e󰀨ect capacity of the
battery.
8. The battery cannot be stored in hot or cold places, otherwise it will
reduce battery capacity and useful life. The battery should always
be stored at normal temperature, and radios equipped with cold
batteries may temporarily not work, even if fully charged.
9. Do not let the metal stripes on the battery come into contact with
metal objects (such as metal benches, pins, etc) as this may cause
the battery to short circuit.
10. Always dispose of old or damaged batteries in accordance with
local recycling laws.
11. NEVER discard or expose batteries in a re, this may result in an
explosion and serious injury or death.
Battery Usage
1. Do not use, install or attempt to charge damaged batteries.
2. Do not use batteries in any other equipment other than that which it
is designed for.
3. Battery charging time varies and is determined by the remaining
capacity of the battery and the battery and charger type. The
battery can be repeatedly charged and discharged more than
300 times, but they will age with use. Aging will occur quicker when
batteries are used for short periods and then recharged. Batteries
should be allowed to fully discharge before charging to prolong
battery life.
4. Batteries that are stored and unused discharge over time.
Programmable Keys
There are four programmable keys available on the AWR-D7000. These keys
are denoted as K1, K2, K3, and TK (Emergency Key). Each key has two
modes, short press and long press.
• Short Press: Press and release quickly.
• Long Press: Press and hold for pre-programmed time. Time is programmable
from 1.5 to 5-seconds.
