RF Radiation Information
This product must be restricted to operations in an occupational/controlled RF exposure environments.
Users must be fully aware of the hazards of the exposure and able to exercise control over their RF
exposure to qualify for the higher exposure limits.
RF Radiation Profile
Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation in the range at which radio signals are
transmitted. RF technology is widely used in communication, medicine, food processing and other fields.
It may generate radiation during use.
RF Radiation Safety
In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant industries including science, engineering, medicine
and health work with international organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF radiation.
These standards consist of:
zUnited States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2
sub-part J;
zAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95. 1-1992;
zInstitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1 – 1999;
zInternational Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998;
FCC Regulations
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requires that all radio communication products should meet

the requirements set forth in the above standards before they can be marketed in the U.S, and the
manufacturer shall post a RF label on the product to inform users of operational instructions, so as to
enhance their occupational health against exposure to RF energy.
EU Regulatory Conformance
As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and
other relevant provisions of the Directive 1999/5/EC. Please note that the above information is
applicable to EU countries only.
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 and, if not 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
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.

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 Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment 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) 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).
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other
parts of the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose.
Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease
with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera’s approved clip, holder,
holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is
important because the use of Hytera’s or other manufacturer’s non-approved accessories
may result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled
environment RF exposure limits.
•If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended
use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least
• Use only manufacturer’s name approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries,
and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and
accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper
distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the
antenna.
• Use only manufacturer’s name approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries,
and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and
accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
•For a list of Hytera’s approved accessories (see the user manual), or (visit the following
website which lists approved accessories: http: add website address), or(The
manufacturer should include the appropriate bracketed item{s} in the manual.)
