For your safety 15
■ Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the
guidelines on controlling your exposure to RF.
Controlling your exposure to
RF energy
This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a form of
electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight), and there are
recommended levels of maximum RF exposure.
To control your exposure to RF and comply with the
maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled
environments, follow these guidelines:
■ Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the
rated transmit duty cycle. This is important
because the radio radiates more energy when it is
transmitting than when it is receiving.
■ When listening and talking on the radio, hold it
upright in front of your face so that it is at least one
inch (2.5 cm) away from any part of your face.
Keeping the radio at the recommended distance is
important because exposure to RF decreases rap-
idly the further away the antenna is from
your body.
■ Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from
your face at all times.
■ If you wear your radio, you must always put it in a
carrying accessory that has been specifically
approved by Tait for this radio. Using non-
approved body-worn accessories may mean you
expose yourself to higher levels of RF than recom-
mended by the FCC’s occupational/controlled
environment RF exposure limits.
■ Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, bat-
teries, and accessories.

to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at
