RF Safety
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. RF energy, which when used
improperly, can cause biological damage. Please refer to the following websites for more
information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure
compliance with established RF exposure limits: http://www.who.int/en/
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor 50% of the time. Transmitting necessa information
or less, is impoant because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting in terms of measuring for standards compliance. For users who wish
to fuher reduce their exposure, some eective measures to reduce RF exposure include:
•Reduce the amount of time spent using your wireless device.
•Use a speakerphone, earpiece, headset, or other hands-free accesso to reduce proximity to
the head (and thus head exposure).
While wired earpieces may conduct some energy to the head and wireless earpieces also emit a
small amount of RF energy, both wired and wireless earpieces remove the greatest source of RF
energy (handheld device) from proximity to the head and thus can greatly reduce total exposure
to the head.
•Increase the distance between wireless devices and your body.
•This radio is designed for and classied as “Occupational/Controlled Use Only”.
Occupational/Controlled environments are dened as locations where there is exposure that
may be incurred by people who are aware of the potential of exposure, for example, as a result
of employment or occupation. It means a radio must be used only by individuals aware of the
hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards; Not intended for use in a General
population/uncontrolled environment.
•Hand-held Mode
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the controlled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:
-To receive calls, release the PTT button.
-To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button in front of the face.
-Hold the radio in a veical position with the microphone (and other pas of the radio including
the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the nose or lips.
Electromagnetic Inteerence/Compatibility
Nearly eve electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic inteerence (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise congured for electromagnetic compatibility.
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause inteerence
with other devices or systems. To avoid such inteerence, turn o the radio in areas where signs
are posted to do so, such as hospitals or healthcare facilities.
• Persons with pacemakers, implantable cardioveer debrillators (ICDs) or other active
implantable medical devices should
• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of inteerence from radio frequency
transmitters, such as poable radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more susceptible
to inteerence).
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that inteerence is taking
place.
• Do not car the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation site, and car or use the
radio on the opposite side of the body from the implantable device to minimize the potential for
inteerence. Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless radios may inteere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such inteerence, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
• Other Medical Devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
WARNING: MODIFICATION OF THIS DEVICE TO RECEIVE CELLULAR RADIOTELEPHONE
SERVICE SIGNALS IS PROHIBITED UNDER FCC RULES AND FEDERAL LAW.
Turn o your radio in the following conditions:
•Turn o your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially hazardous or explosive
atmosphere. Only radio types that are
especially qualied should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”.
Note: the areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred to above include blasting caps,
blasting areas, inammable gas, dust paicles, metallic powders, grain powders, fueling areas
such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air
contains chemicals or paicles (such as grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn o your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often – but not always posted.
Use of Communication Devices While Driving
•Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the areas where you drive. Use
of Communication Devices, for example, mobile radio, may not be allowed.
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull o the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions or
regulations so require.
• Do not place a poable radio in the area over an air bag or in the airbag deployment area.
The radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious inju to occupants of the vehicle
when the airbag inates.
Protect your hearing
• Use the lowest volume necessa to do your job. Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy
surroundings.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker directly
against your ear.
• Use carefully with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from earphones
and headphones can cause hearing loss.
CAUTION: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may
temporarily or permanently aect your hearing.
The louder the radio's volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be aected.
Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at rst and can have a cumulative
eect.
Batteries Safety
•WARNING: KEEP NEW OR OLD USED BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
•In the event of a batte leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or
eyes. If contact has been made, wash the aected area with copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice immediately.
•If a radio or a batte has been submerged in water, please d and clean it before use. Do not
d the radio or batte with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair der or microwave
oven. If the radio has been submersed in a corrosive substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio
and batte in fresh water, then d them.
•Since batteries are sensitive to high temperatures when storing them, keep them in a cool and
d place. The recommended temperature should be between +10 ℃and +25℃and never exceed
+30℃. Batteries should therefore not be stored next to radiators or boilers nor in direct sunlight.
Extremes of humidity (below 35% and above 95% relative humidity for sustained periods should
be avoided since they are detrimental to both batteries and packing. Although the storage life of
batteries at room temperature is good, storage is improved at lower temperatures provided
special precautions are taken. Also, accelerated warming is harmful.
Leaving a batte in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in
an explosion or the leakage of ammable liquid or gas;
A batte subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of
ammable liquid or gas.
•The plug of the adapter is considered a disconnect device. The socket-outlet shall be installed
near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
