Important Information
Note:

Ibefore using the two-way mobile radio, review the following important RF energy awareness and control information and operational
instructions. Comply with this information and instructions in order to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.e the capability to
access information in that form.
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 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. Refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control
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

RF Energy Exposure Awareness And Control
Information For FCC Occupational Use Requirements
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 remain below RF exposure limits. This radio is NOT authorized for
general population, consumer, or any other use.
!
!
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Harris could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
WARNING
CAUTION
Important Information
RF Energy Exposure Information

To ensure bodily exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use. Always adhere to the
following basic guidelines:
• The push-to-talk button should only be depressed when intending to send a voice message.
• The radio should only be used for necessary work-related communications.
• The radio should only be used by authorized and trained personnel. It should never be operated by children.
• Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio. Changes or modifications to the radio may cause harmful interference and/or
cause it to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Only qualified personnel should service the radio.
• Always use only authorized accessories (antennas, control heads, speakers/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the
FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The information listed above provides the user with information needed to make him or her aware of a RF
exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC exposure limits of this radio.
Occupational Safety Guidelines And Safety Training Information
5
Federal Communications Commission Regulations
Before it was marketed in the United States, the Digital mobile radio was tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy exposure limits
for two-way mobile radios. 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. The radio has an RF exposure product label.
Also, the Product Safety Manual and this Operator’s Manual include information and operating instructions required to control RF exposure
and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Important Information
Operation Safety Recommendations

6
•Explosive Atmospheres — Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle while its engine is running, be sure to turn the radio OFF while fueling
the vehicle. If the radio is mounted in the trunk of the vehicle, DO NOT carry containers of fuel in the trunk.
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Turn the radio OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that the radio or its accessories could generate sparks.
• Interference To Vehicular Electronic Systems — Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid braking systems, electronic cruise
control systems, etc., are typical of the types of electronic devices that can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency
(RF) energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle
and enlist their aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the radio is transmitting.

Transmitter Hazards
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio
transmissions. Possible hazards include but are not limited to:
!
WARNING
Important Information

Radio Frequency Interference
· Vehicles Equipped with Airbags — For driver and passenger safety,avoid mounting the radio s control head (or any other component)
’
above or near airbag deployment areas. In addition to driverside and passenger-side front-impact airbags, some vehicles may also be
equipped with side-impact airbags. For occupant safety, verify the location of all airbags within the vehicle before installing the radio
equipment.
FCC Part 15
This device complies with 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 accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Important Information
NOTE 1: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device , pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE 2: Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
- This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational/Controlled Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of
employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards; NOT intended for use in an General
population /uncontrolled environment.
- DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed RF
exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by
the manufacturer for use with this radio.
- DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time, more than 50% of the time can cause RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded.
-This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 70cm between the radiator and your body.
