safety could be affected if they do not understand how to operate this
product correctly.
Exposure to RF energy
Sepura designs and manufactures products to meet strict guidelines and
international standards relating to Radio Frequency energy and the
potential health risks associated with using such products.
Sepura terminals are low powered radio transmitters and receivers that
receive and transmit Radio Frequency (RF) signals when switched on.
The antenna radiates RF energy only when transmitting and not in
standby mode.
Users should be informed of the potential health risks associated with
long term exposure to RF energy by their employer.
RF energy interference with electronic equipment
Some personal medical devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers,
can be affected by RF energy. Always consult your Service Provider or
the manufacturer of the medical device before using RF wireless
devices.
Some electronic devices are sensitive to RF energy. Always obey signs
restricting the use of wireless devices.
Safely operating the product
Users should always ensure that the mobile is operating correctly
before entering any environment that has a potential risk to personal
safety.
Operate the fist microphone in a vertical position and with the
microphone 5 cm (2 in.) away from your mouth when transmitting.
Safety in hazardous environments
Always switch off the mobile in environments where RF wireless
devices could potentially cause an explosion. Potentially hazardous
areas are not always signed. Obey all signs and instructions relating to
the usage of RF wireless devices.
Do not use the mobile in the presence of gas fumes, explosives dust
situations, nuclear facilities, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities.
This mobile is not designed for use in potentially explosive
environments where RF wireless devices could potentially cause an
explosion. SWITCH OFF the mobile if you are unsure if the mobile is
a risk in these environments. Potentially hazardous areas are not
always signed. Obey all signs and instructions relating to the usage of
RF wireless devices.
Safety when driving a vehicle
Always obey local laws and regulations governing the operation of RF
wireless devices when driving and whilst at locations.
Do not operate the product if it creates a distraction from driving safely
and observing road conditions.
Always switch off the mobile at refuelling stations. Always observe
and obey warning signs relating to the use of RF wireless devices in
the vicinity of refuelling stations.

operated with minimum distance 0.75m between the radiator& your
body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
IC Warning
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only
signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were
met.Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is
not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain
maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à
l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son
gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.)
ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une
communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or
