Hand-held Operation (Held-to-Face)
Thisdevicewasevaluatedfortypicalhand-held
(held-to-face)operationswitha1inchspacingfrom
thefrontoftheradio.Forhand-heldoperation,the
radioshouldbeheld1inchfromtheuser'sfacein
ordertocomplywithFCCRFexposure
requirements.

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
ThisdevicecomplieswithPart15oftheFCC
Rules.Operationissubjecttothefollowingtwo
conditions:
(1)Thisdevicemaynotcauseharmfulinterference.
(2)Thisdevicemustacceptanyinterference
received,includinginterferencethatmaycause
undesiredoperation.
Important:Anychangesormodificationsnot
expresslyapprovedbythepartyresponsiblefor
compliancecouldvoidtheuser'sauthorityto
operatethisdevice.Yourradioissetuptotransmit
aregulatedsignalonanassignedfrequency.Itis
againstthelawtoalteroradjustthesettingsinside
theradiotoexceedthoselimitations.Any
adjustmentstoyourradiomustbemadeby
qualifiedtechnicians.
To be safe and sure:
•Neveropenyourradio’scase.
•Neverchangeorreplaceanythinginyourradio
exceptthebatteries.
YourradiomightcauseTVorradiointerference
evenwhenitisoperatingproperly.Todetermine
whetheryourradioiscausingtheinterference,turn
itoff.Iftheinterferencegoesaway,yourradiois
causingit.Trytoeliminatetheinterferenceby
movingyourradioawayfromthereceiver.Ifyou
cannoteliminatetheinterference,theFCCrequires
thatyoustopusingtheradio.
Hazardous Environments: Donotoperatethe
radioinhazardousenvironments.Explosionorfire
mayresult.Donotoperatetheradionear
unshieldedelectricalblastingcaps.
Undercertainconditions,radioscaninterferewith
blastingoperationsandmaycauseanexplosion.
TurnyourradioOFFtopreventaccidental
transmissionwheninablastingareaorinareas
