Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, literature, or packaging reminds you
that all electrical and electronic products, batteries, or accumulators must be taken to
designated collection locations at the end of their working life. Do not dispose of these
products as unsoed municipal waste. Dispose of them according to the laws and rules in your area.
RF Safety
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communica-
tions 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://ww-
w.who.int/en/
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is impoant as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from
the proper antenna. A proper antenna is an antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or
specically authorized by the local authority for use with this radio. This radio can only be operated by use of
an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter under regulations and rules.
This transmitter must operate with the antenna(s) documented and in Push-to-Talk and body-worn
congurations as documented. Using authorized accessories is impoant because the use of Non-Retevis
accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP RF exposure limits.
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor 50% of the time. Transmitting necessa information or less, is
impoant because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting in terms
ofmeasuring for standards compliance. For users who wish to fuher reduce their exposure, some eective
measures to reduce RF exposure include:
-Reduce the amount of time spent using your wireless device.
-Increase the distance between wireless devices and your body.
This radio is designed for and classied as “General population/uncontrolled use”. General population/uncon-
trolled environments are dened as locations where there is exposure of individuals who have no knowledge
or control of RF exposure level.
RF Safety distance
Speak directly into the microphone. During operation, the separation distance between the user and the
antenna subject to actual regulations. This separation distance will ensure that there is sucient distance
from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements. Transmit only
when people are the recommended minimum lateral distance away from a properly installed externally
mounted antenna according to installation instructions.
Electromagnetic Inteerence/Compatibility
Nearly eve electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic inteerence (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed, or otherwise congured for electromagnetic compatibility. During transmissions, your radio
generates RF energy that can possibly cause inteerence with other devices or systems. To avoid such
inteerence, turn o the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so, such as hospitals or healthcare
facilities.
Persons with pacemakers, implantable cardioveer debrillators (ICDs) or other active implantable medical
devices should:
• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of inteerence from radio frequency transmitters,
such as poable radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more susceptible to inteerence).
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that inteerence 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 inteerence.
Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless radios may inteere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
inteerence, 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 qualied should be used in such areas as
“Intrinsically Safe”.
Note: the areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred to above include blasting
caps, blasting areas, inammable gas, dust paicles, 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
paicles (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.
•Turn o your radio when taking on fuel or parked at gasoline seice stations.
•Turn o your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.•Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a burn can result.•Turn o your radio
before removing or installing accessories.
•When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will become hot.
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 poable 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 inates.
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 aect your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less time is required before your hearing
could be aected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at rst and can have a
cumulative eect.
