FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Verification of harmful interference by this
equipment to radio or television reception can be determined by turning it off and then 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 different circuit to that of the receiver's outlet.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: 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.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control
Information and Operational Instructions for
Occupational Use
NOTICE: 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 the
occupational limits in FCC and International standards. This radio device is NOT authorized for
general population consumer use.
This 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, 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
safe 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 Hytera radios 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 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 websites 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

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Hytera's radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR § 1.1307, 1.1310
and 2.1093
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1:2005; Canada RSS102 Issue 5 March 2015
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1:2005 Edition
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environmental exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
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.
Operating Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT)
key. To receive calls, release the PTT key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio
generates measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
Keep the radio unit at least 2.5 cm away from the face. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important as
RF exposure decreases with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be kept away from the face and
eyes.
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera-approved holder, holster, case, or body harness or
by use of the correct clip for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which
exceed the FCC's occupational/controlled environmental RF exposure limits.
Use of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
Contact your local dealer for the optional accessories of the product.

channel between High and Low.
6.4 Selecting a Zone
A zone is a group of channels exhibiting the same property. You can list such channels into a zone for
convenient management to them. This radio supports 3 zones: Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3, each of
which can contain 16 channels at most.
You may quickly toggle to your wanted zone by pressing the programmed Zone Up or Zone Down key.
When toggling to a zone, you will hear the alert tone for the zone (one alert tone for Zone 1, two alert
tones for Zone 2 and three alert tones for Zone 3).
6.5 Selecting a Channel
After turning the radio on, rotate the Channel Selector knob to select a needed channel. You can also
switch to the designated channel by pressing the programmed Preset Channel key.
If the Channel Notify function is active, you will hear the corresponding channel number when switching
to any channel.
6.6 Switching the Channel Mode
Each channel can be programmed as either analog channel or digital channel via your dealer. If the

17
current zone includes both analog and digital channels, you may quickly switch between digital and
analog channels through the Channel Selector knob.
