Federal Communications Commission Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits
for mobile two-way radios before they can be marketed in the United States (US).
When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires
users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational
requirements. Simoco two-way radios have an exposure awareness label attached to
the equipment directing users to specific awareness information. Do not remove this
exposure awareness label from the device. Additionally, your Simoco user manual or
separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to
control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance regulations.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Simoco two-way radios are designed and tested to comply with a number of national
and international standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) exposure limits for
Occupational/Controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to
50% talk 50% listen and is authorised by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of
measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio
generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when
it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your Simoco two-way radio complies with the following 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.
• Australian Communications Authority Radio Communications Standard et seq.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
• Industry Canada RSS-102.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instruc-
tions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the
Occupational/Controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following
procedures.
Guidelines:
• User awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to
other users.
