RF Energy Exposure Compliance
● 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 and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In
terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking in VOX and PTT mode), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
● The device complies with SAR and/or RF field strength limits of RSS-102 requirement and contact
information where the user can obtain Canadian information on RF exposure and compliance.
Your radio complies with the following of RF energy exposure standards and guidelines
● United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J
● American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.
1-1992
● Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
● International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled environment RF energy exposure
limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always
adhere to the following procedures:
Transmit and Receive
To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) key; to receive, release the PTT key.
EU Regulatory Conformance
The equipment is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Directive
