1 For your safety
Before using your radio, please read the following important safety and compliance information.
Radio frequency exposure information
For individual safety and to ensure compliance 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
This radio should only be used for work-related purposes (it is not authorized for any other use) and when the user is
fully aware of, and can exercise control over, exposure to RF energy. To prevent exceeding FCC RF exposure limits,
the user must control the amount and duration of RF that they and other people are exposedto.
It is also important that you:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure label from theradio.
• Ensure this RF exposure information accompanies the radio when it is transferred to otherusers.
• Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the guidelines on controlling your exposure toRF.
Controlling exposure to RFenergy
This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a form of elec-
tromagnetic energy (as is sunlight), and there are recommended levels of maximum RFexposure.
To control your exposure to RF and comply with the maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled envir-
onments, follow theseguidelines:
• 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 isreceiving.
• When listening and talking on the radio, hold it upright in front of your face so that it is at least one inch (2.5cm)
away from any part of your face. Keeping the radio at the recommended distance is important because
exposure to RF decreases rapidly the further away the antenna is from yourbody.
• Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5cm) from your face at alltimes.
• 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 recommended by the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
• Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, batteries, andaccessories.
For more information on what RF energy is and how to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at
