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two‐way

materialbelowincludesusefulinformationaboutRFexposureandhelpfulinstructions
onhowtocontrolyourRFexposure.Your
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PushTo‐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).
*Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other parts of
the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the mouth. Keeping the radio
at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna.
Antenna should be kept away from eyes.
* Forbody‐wornoperation,alwaysusethe COVALUE approved belt-clip, holder or holster case, etc.
accessories.

*UseonlyFCC‐approved,suppliedorreplacementheadsets,batteries,andaccessoriesintended
forusewiththisradio.Useofnon‐FCC/ICapprovedaccessories may exceed the FC/IC
RF exposure guidelines. 
