RFExposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the
Occupational/Controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following
procedures.
Guidelines:
n User awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to
other users.
n Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not
met.
Operating Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To Transmit (Talk),
push the Push To Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls (listen), release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for
standards compliance.
Mobile Operation:
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum
lateral distance away from a properly installed according to installation instructions,
externally mounted antenna.
Notes:
1. Table A lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an
uncontrolled environment from the transmitting antenna for the SDM600AC
(150 MHz – 174 MHz) mobile rated power (25 Watts) installed in a vehicle.
2. Table B lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for
occupational/controlled use.
3. Table C lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an
uncontrolled environment from the transmitting antenna for the SDM600TU
and SDM600UW (406.1 MHz – 512 MHz) mobile rated power (25 Watts)
installed in a vehicle.
4. Table D lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for
occupational/controlled use.
