For your safety 7
For your safety
Before using your radio, please read the following
important safety and compliance information.
Radio frequency exposure information
Foryourownsafetyandtoensureyoucomplywiththe
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
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:

8 For your safety
■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.
■When listening and talking on the radio, hold it
upright in front of your face so that it is at least one
inch (2.5 cm) away from any part of your face.
Keeping the radio at the recommended distance is
important because exposure to RF decreases rap-
idly the further away the antenna is from
your body.
■Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from
your face at all times.
■If you wear your radio, you must always put it in a
carrying accessory carry accessory that has been
specifically approved by Tait for this radio. Using
non-approved body-worn accessories may mean
you expose yourself to higher levels of RF than
recommended by the FCC’s occupational/con-
trolled environment RF exposure limits.
■Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, bat-
teries, and accessories.
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.
