Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines
(listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the
IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at operating duty factors
of up to 50% transmitting. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure
limits, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your radio complies with the following of RF energy exposure standards and guidelines

◆Operating Instructions to control RF Exposure
To decrease your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits,
please always adhere to the following procedures.
1. Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit, press the PTT button, and to
receive the call, release the PTT button.
2. Keep your radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone 5cm away from your mouth while
transmit.
3. When worn on your body, keep the antenna 2.5cm away from you body while transmit.

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury, such as burns, if a conductive material such as

DP860 Digital Two-way Radio Instruction Manual
jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical
circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Excessive care in handling any charged battery, particular when
placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. To reduce the potentially damage, do not
expose the battery in the fire, or disassemble and extrude the battery.
