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:
lReorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation
between the equipment and receiver.

lConnect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit to that of the
receiver's outlet.
lConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
lThis device may not cause harmful interference.
lThis 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.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
The radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
lUnited States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal
Regulations; 47 CFR § 1.1307, 1.1310 and 2.1093
lAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1:2005; Canada RSS102 Issue 5
March 2015
lInstitute 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:
lDo not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
lUser awareness instructions should accompany device when
transferred to other users.
lDo not use this device if the operational requirements described herein
are not met.
Operating Instructions:
lTransmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To
transmit (talk), press 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).
lKeep 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.

lWhen worn on the body, always place the radio in an 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.
lUse of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the
radio to exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
lContact your local dealer for the product's optional accessories.
IC Statement
The device has been tested and complies with SAR limits, users can obtain
Canadian information on RF exposure and compliance.
Après examen de ce matériel aux conformité aux limites DAS et/ou aux
