Transmit and Rsceive Procedure
Your tlvo-way radio contains a transmitter and a receivel To control
your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/
uncontrolled envir0nment exposure limits, always adhere t0 the
following procedure:
. Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
. To transmit {talk}, press the Push to Talk {PTT) button.
Transmitting 500/0 of the time, or less, is important because the radio
generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting
(in terns of measurinq standards compliance).
