Compliance with RFEnergy Exposure
Guidelines (United States and Canada)
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information
and Operational Instructions for FCC Occupational Use
Requirements
Before using your Simoco portable two-way radio, read this important RF energy
awareness and control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance
with the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCCs) RF exposure guidelines.
Notice:
This radio is intended for use in Occupational/Controlled conditions in a portable
application where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise
control over their exposure to meet the occupational limits in FCC/ICNIRP and
International Standards. This radio device is NOT authorised for general population
consumer use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum
to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses 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 safe 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 Simoco
two-way radios 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 two-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 two-way radios before they can be marketed in the United States (US).
When two-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. Simoco two-way radios have an exposure awareness label attached to
the equipment directing users to specific awareness information. Do not remove this
exposure awareness label from the device. Additionally, your Simoco user manual or
separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to
control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance regulations.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Simoco two-way radios are designed and tested to comply with a number of national
and international standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) exposure limits for
Occupational/Controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to
50% talk 50% listen and is authorised by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of
measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio
generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when
it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your Simoco two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards
and guidelines:
nUnited States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regu-
lations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J.
nAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992.
nAustralian Communications Authority Radio Communications Standard et seq.
nInstitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
nIndustry Canada RSS-102.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the
Occupational/ Controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following
procedures.
Guidelines:
nUser awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to
other users.
Doc Number: TNM-U-E-0157 Issue: 1.2 Page xv

nDo not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not
met.
Instructions:
nTransmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit
(talk), press the Press-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).
nTransmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended
minimum lateral distance away, as shown in Tables 1(a) and 2(a) and 3(a), from a
properly installed according to installation instructions, externally-mounted
antenna.
Notes:
