Antenna Care and Replacement
Always keep the antenna at least 0.43 inches (1.1 cm.) away from
the body and 1.0 inch (2.5 cm.) from the face when transmitting to
ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not
exceeded.
Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna.
A minor burn may result if skin comes into contact with a damaged
antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Operating a
portable radio with the antenna missing could cause personal
injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC regulations.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Use of unauthorized
antennas, modifications or attachments could cause damage to the
radio unit and may violate FCC regulations.
