MOISTURE: JMX S ri s radios ar not wat rproof.
DO NOT dir ctly xpos th m to rain or xc ssiv
moistur .
CHEMICALS: D t rg nts, alcohol, a rosol sprays or
p trol um products can damag th radio cas . DO

VIBRATION/ SHOCK: Although your JMX S ri s
radio is d sign d to b rugg d, it will not surviv
xc ssiv abus . Avoid dropping th radio.
NOTE: Th optional MH-A holst r provid s add d
prot ction from w ath r and shock.

Th JMX/SST S ri s handh ld radios g n rat RF
l ctromagn tic n rgy during transmit mod . Th
transmit mod is activ wh n th PTT switch is
d pr ss d. This radio is d sign d for, and classifi d
as, Occupational Us Only, m aning that it must b

n tic Fi lds.
Am rican National Standards Institut (C95.1-
1992), IEEE Standard for Saf ty L v ls with
R sp ct to Human Exposur to Radio Fr qu ncy
El ctromagn tic Fi lds, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

To nsur that xposur to RF l ctromagn tic n rgy
is within th FCC allowabl limits for occupational us ,
always adh r to th following guid lin s:
Us only th ant nna(s) availabl from RITRON for
th s mod ls. DO NOT att mpt to substitut any
oth r ant nna. DO NOT op rat th radio without
an ant nna.
K p talk tim s as short and infr qu nt as
possibl . DO NOT d pr ss th PTT button wh n
