RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION, AND
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE 2-WAY RADIO READ THIS IMPORTANT RF ENERGY
AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC’S RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
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 FCC limits. This radio
device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use.
This 2-way 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,
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 2-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 2-way 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.
Federal Communications Commission Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable 2-way radios
before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-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 product label directing users to specific user awareness
information. Hytera’s 2-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, Hytera’s user manual, or product
manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF
exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.

5
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.
Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Hytera’s 2-way 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,
2.1091 and 2.1093
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.
1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
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 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

6
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.)
• For a list of Hytera’s approved accessories (see the user manual), or (visit the following website which lists

Functions and Operations
Adjust Power Level
With this feature, you may switch power levels quickly. Generally, we recommend you to adopt low power
for battery saving. However, if you cannot communicate with radios located at a distant place with low
power, please select high power.
Operation:
Press the programmed Adjust Power Level key to switch between high power and low power (from low
power to high power: a high-pitched tone sounds; from high power to low power: a low-pitched tone
sounds).
Scan
The Scan feature allows you to listen to communication activities on other channels so that you can keep
a close track of your team members.
Operation:
1. To enable the feature, press the programmed Scan key in standby mode (a high-pitched tone
sounds); or
Switch to a channel for which the feature “Auto Scan” is enabled via the programming software.
2. After the feature is enabled, your radio will scan according to the scan list set for the channel on
which scanning starts. The scanning process is as follows:
During scanning, the LED flashes orange.
When activities are detected on a channel, the radio will stay on the channel to receive current
activities, and the LED glows green.
If you don’t want to hear activities on the channel, press the programmed Nuisance Temporary
Delete key to remove the channel from the scan list temporarily.
If you want to continue staying on the channel, press the programmed Monitor or Squelch Off
key during scan stay.
3. To exit the scanning process, press the programmed Scan key again (a low-pitched tone sounds).
