Section0Safety Information
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and
Operational Instructions for FCC Occupational Use Requirements
Before using your mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and
control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF
exposure guidelines.
Note This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC
limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any
other use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to
provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio
frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of
electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power,
sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of
electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very
high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with organizations to
develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended
levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF
exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in
North America are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet government
established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important
because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on
how to control it.Please refer to the following web sites for more information on what RF
energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits.
•http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
• http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
Federal Communications Commission Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits
for mobile two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios
are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and
able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specific user awareness information.
Your EFJohnson two-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your EFJohnson
user manual, or product manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and

Draft
xii 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual December 2006
operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your EFJohnson 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 radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE
and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty
factors of up to 50% talk and 100% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational
use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines,
your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during
talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your EFJohnson two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47
CFR §§ 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the occupational/
controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Instructions
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 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 because this radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum
lateral distance away, as shown in Table 1, from a properly installed according to
installation instructions, externally-mounted antenna.

Draft
December 2006 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual xiii
Note The following table lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an
uncontrolled environment from transmitting types of antennas (i.e., monopoles over a
ground plane, or dipoles) at several different ranges of rated radio power for mobile
radios installed in a vehicle.
Mobile Antennas
• Install antennas at the center of the roof or the center of the trunk deck taking into
account the bystander exposure conditions of backseat passengers and the
recommended minimum lateral distances in Table 1. These mobile antenna installation
guidelines are limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles with appropriate ground
planes. The antenna installation should additionally be in accordance with:
•The requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier.
•Instructions in the Radio Installation Manual, including minimum antenna cable
lengths.
•The installation manual should provide specific information of how to install the
antennas to facilitate recommended operating distances to all potentially exposed
persons.
• Use only EFJohnson-approved supplied antenna or EFJohnson-approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio
and may violate FCC regulations. Antennas tested with EFJohnson radios are listed
below.
