For your safety 7

For your safety

Before using your radio, please read the following

important safety and compliance information.

Radio frequency exposure information

For your own safety and to ensure you comply with the

radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines of the

United States Federal Communication Commission’s

(FCC), Industry Canada, and those from other

administrations, please read the following information

before using this radio.

Using this radio

You should use this radio only for work-related

purposes (it is not authorized for any other use) and if

you are fully aware of, and can exercise control over,

your exposure to RF energy. To prevent exceeding

FCC RF exposure limits, you must control the amount

and duration of RF that you and other people are

exposed to.

It is also important that you:

■Do not remove the RF Exposure label from

the radio.

■Ensure this RF exposure information accompa-

nies the radio when it is transferred to other users.

■Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the

guidelines on controlling your exposure to RF.

Controlling your exposure to

RF energy

Warning RF exposure hazard!

To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF

exposure limits, mount the antenna at a location such

that no person or persons can come closer than 35

inches (0.9m) to the antenna:

For radios with a transmit power >25W:

8 For your safety

VHF radios must be installed using an antenna

mounted centrally on the vehicle roof, with a gain of

2.15dBi or 5.15dBi.

UHF and 800MHz radios must be installed using an

antenna mounted either centrally on the vehicle roof

with a gain of 2.15dBi or 5.65dBi, or centrally

mounted on the trunk with a gain of 5.65dBi.

900MHz radios must be installed using an antenna

mounted either centrally on the vehicle roof or

centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain of 2.15dBi

or 8dBi.

For radios with a transmit power of 25W:

The radio must be installed using an externally

mounted antenna with a gain of either 2.15dBi or

5.15dBi.

This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or radio

waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a form of

electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight), and there are

recommended levels of maximum RF exposure.

To control your exposure to RF and comply with the

maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled

environments, follow these guidelines:

■Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the

rated transmit duty cycle. This is important

because the radio radiates more energy when it is

transmitting than when it is receiving.

■While you are transmitting (talking or sending

data) on the radio, you must ensure that there is

always a distance of 35 inches (0.9m) between

people and the antenna. This is the minimum

safe distance.

■Use the radio only with Tait-approved antennas

and attachments, and make only authorized modi-

fications to the antenna otherwise you could dam-

age the radio and violate FCC regulations.

For more information on what RF energy is and how

to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at

www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html.

For your safety 9

Health Canada warning statement

The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that

the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not

emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for

the general population; consult Safety Code 6,

obtainable from the Health Canada’s website

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

Compliance with RF energy exposure

standards

This two-way radio complies with these RF energy

exposure standards and guidelines:

■United States Federal Communications Commis-

sion, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§

1.1307, 1.1310, and 2.1091.

health and safety requirements regarding the

exposure of workers to the risks arising from phys-

ical agents (electromagnetic fields).

This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP

exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF

exposure environments at operating duty factors of up

to 50% talk to 50% listen.

Declaration of conformity

Brief Declarations of Conformity appear on page 59 of

this booklet. To download the formal declaration of

conformity, go to www.taitradio.com/eudoc.

Interference with electronic devices

Warning Some electronic devices may be prone to

malfunction due to the lack of protection from RF

energy that is present when your radio is transmitting.

Examples of electronic devices that may be affected

by RF energy are:

■aircraft electronic systems

■vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injec-

tion, anti-skid brakes, and cruise control

■medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing

aids

■medical equipment in hospitals or health care

facilities.

Switch off the radio before boarding an aircraft. Using

your radio while in the air is not permitted.

Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of any

such electronic devices to determine whether

electronic circuits in those devices will perform

normally when the radio is transmitting.

Warning If you have a pacemaker, immediately turn

off the radio if you suspect it is interfering with the

pacemaker.

If there is interference between your hearing aid and

the radio, please discuss an alternative solution with

the hearing aid manufacturer.

14 For your safety

Potentially explosive atmospheres and

blasting areas

Warning Unless the radio is specifically certified for

use in a potentially explosive atmosphere, turn off the

radio before entering such an atmosphere. An

explosion could cause serious injury or death.

Examples of potentially explosive atmospheres

include filling stations, and any environment where

there are flammable liquids, gases, or dusts.

Warning Turn off the radio before approaching

blasting caps, a blasting area, or any area where you

are instructed to turn off a two-way radio. Obey all

signs and instructions. Interference with blasting

operations could cause serious injury or death.

Radio installation and operation in

vehicles

Warning Keep the radio away from airbags and

airbag deployment areas. Do not install, charge, or

place a radio near such areas. An activated airbag

can propel a portable radio with sufficient force to

cause serious injury to vehicle occupants. An airbag

may not perform to specification if obstructed by a

radio.

Warning To avoid damage to existing wiring, airbags,

fuel tanks, fuel and brake lines, or battery cables, refer

to the installation guide for the radio, and to the vehicle

manufacturer’s manual, before installing electronic

equipment in the vehicle.

Using a handheld microphone or a radio while driving

a vehicle may violate the laws and legislation that

apply in your country or state. Please check the

vehicle regulations in your area.

For your safety 15

Radio protection when charging the

vehicle battery

Always remove the fuses from the radio power cable

before charging the vehicle battery, connecting a

second battery, or using power from another vehicle

(e.g. when jump-starting the vehicle).

Electromagnetic compatibility in

European vehicles

In the European Community, radio equipment fitted to

automotive vehicles is regulated by Directive 72/245/

EEC and its amendments. The requirements of this

directive cover the electromagnetic compatibility of

electrical or electronic equipment fitted to automotive

vehicles.

To meet the requirements of Directive 72/245/EEC

and its amendments, installation of this product in a

vehicle must be performed according to the

instructions provided by the vehicle manufacturer

Notice Failure to install the product correctly may

void the vehicle’s type-approval. The owner could be

held responsible for any damage resulting from

vehicle failure that can be attributed to RF energy

interfering with the vehicle systems.

16 For your safety

Unapproved modifications or changes

to radio

The radio is designed to satisfy the applicable

compliance regulations. Do not make modifications or

changes to the radio that are not expressly approved

by Tait. Failure to do so could invalidate compliance

requirements and void the user’s authority to operate

the radio.

High radio surface temperatures

Caution The bottom surface of the radio and the

heatsink fins can become hot during prolonged

operation. Do not touch these parts of the radio.

EN 60950 requirements

(25 watt mobiles)

This radio complies with the European Union standard

EN 60950 when operated up to the rated 33% duty

cycle of two minutes transmit and four minutes

receive, and with ambient temperatures of 30°C or

lower.

Caution Operation outside these limits may cause

the external temperature of the radio to rise higher

than this standard permits.
