18 For your safety
Radio frequency exposure information
For your own safety and to ensure you comply with the
radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines of the United
States Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC),
Industry Canada, and those from other administrations,
please read the following information before using this
radio.
Using this radio
You should use this radio only for work-related purposes
(it is not authorized for any other use) and if you are fully
aware of, and can exercise control over, your exposure to
RF energy. To prevent exceeding FCC RF exposure
limits, you must control the amount and duration of RF
that you and other people are exposed to.
It is also important that you:
■
Do not remove the RF Exposure label from the radio.
■
Ensure this RF exposure information accompanies
the radio when it is transferred to other users.
■
Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the guide-
lines 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
