is designed for and classifed as "Occupation Use Only" meaning it must be used
Safety training Information
Our radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio
only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and
the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the
"General Population"in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits
Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy
levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
1. FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance
with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
Fields.
2. 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.
3. American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended
Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields-
RF and Microwave.
4. The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of
accessories other than those (listed in the instruction) specied may result in RF
exposure levels exceed the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.
This device complies wit h part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must acceptany interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation. Any Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
FCC Warning:
to operate the equipment.

when transmitting and only use our radio’s belt-clip which is listed in
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the
FCC allowable limits foroccupational use, always adhere to the following
guidelines:
1. DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may
damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure
limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the
manufacturer or antenna specically authorized by the manufacturer for use
with this radio.
2. DO NOT transmits for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty
cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the
“TX indicator”lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the
“PTT”switch.
3. ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body
instructions when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC
RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the
recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna
at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. The
information listed above provides the user with the information needed to
make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to as*sure that this
radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions,our radio
generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices
or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where
signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are
sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting
sites. Occupational/Controlled Use The radio transmitter is used in situations
in which persons are exposed as consequence of their employment provided
those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise
control over their exposure.
