SAFETY INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
withitsactioninGeneralDocket79-144,March13,1985,
has adopted a safety standard for the human exposure
to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated equipment. Proper operation of this
radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupa-
tionalSafetyandHealthActandFederalCommunication
Commission limits.
DO NOT hold the radio in such a manner that the
antenna is close to, or touching, exposed parts of the
body -- especially the eyes or face --while the radio is
transmitting.
DO NOT operate theradio near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere, unless it is
a type specifically designed and qualified for such use.
DO NOT operate the radio unless the antenna con-
nector is secure and any open connectors are properly
terminated.
DO NOT allow children to operate transmitter-
equipped radio equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this
device does not cause harmful interference.
