8.3 Safety Notes 
Please read the following recommendations for safe and effective use of the Radio.   
• Please keep the Radio away at least 1 inch from the body. 
• Do not touch antenna if it is damaged. Risk of skin burn can occur if the outside surface of antenna 
gets stripped out.   
• Please be careful when putting the battery in a pocket or a bag. If you contact a conductive metal 
to a battery terminal, there is a heat and fire risk to your radio.   
• Please don’t listen to the radio at a high-volume level when using earphones. Loud volume may 
have a lasting bad effect on your hearing. 
• It is recommended to adjust the volume step by step to the level you want after you set the radio 
volume of the radio at a low level.   
• Please don’t remove or replace or charge or discharge the battery in an hazard area where sparks 
could cause an electrical fire. 
• Turn off the radio in areas where there is a strong electromagnetic force. 
 
FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE ONLY 
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General Docket 93-62, November 7, 1997, has adopted a 
safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. 
Proper operation of this radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and Federal 
Communications Commission limits. 
  DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50% of the time 
can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. 
  This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted 
to occupational use, work related operations only where radio operator must have the knowledge to control the user’s 
exposure conditions for satisfying the higher exposure limit allowed for occupational use. 
  When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 inches (2.5 cm) away from your mouth. 
  The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the front of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit 
by pressing the PTT bar on the radio. 
  These  are  required  operating  configurations  for  meeting  FCC  RF  exposure  compliance.  Failure  to  observe  thes
e  restrictions  means  violation. 
This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) 
This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference received, 
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
