RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE
Before using this device, please read this guide which contains important operating instructions for safe usage, control
information and operational instructions for compliance with RF Energy Exposure limits in applicable national and international
standards.
User' instructions should accompany the device when transferred to other users.
Unauthorized modification and adjustment
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance may void the user's authority granted by the
local government radio management departments to operate this radio and should not be made. To comply with the corresponding
requirements, transmitter adjustments should be made only by or under the supervision of a person certified as technically qualified to
perform transmitter maintenance and repairs in the private land mobile and fixed services as certified by an organization representative
of the user of those services. Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) not authorized by the local
government radio management departments equipment authorization for this radio could violate the rules.

RF Safety
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more
users over a distance. RF energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Please refer to the following websites for
more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure
limits: http://www.who.int/en/
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor 50% of the time. Transmitting necessary information or less, is important because the radio
generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring for standards compliance. For users who wish
to further reduce their exposure, some effective measures to reduce RF exposure include:
•Reduce the amount of time spent using your wireless device.
•Use a speakerphone, earpiece, headset, or other hands-free accessory to reduce proximity to the head (and thus head exposure).
While wired earpieces may conduct some energy to the head and wireless earpieces also emit a small amount of RF energy, both wired
and wireless earpieces remove the greatest source of RF energy (handheld device) from proximity to the head and thus can greatly
reduce total exposure to the head.
•Increase the distance between wireless devices and your body.
This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational/Controlled Use Only". Occupational/Controlled environments are defined as
locations where there is exposure that may be incurred by people who are aware of the potential of exposure, for example, as a result of
employment or occupation. It means a radio must be used only by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such
hazards; Not intended for use in a General population/uncontrolled environment.
Hand-held Mode
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to
the following procedure:
-To receive calls, release the PTT button.
-To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button in front of the face.
-Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at
least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the nose or lips.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference
with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so, such as hospitals
or healthcare facilities.
Persons with pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or other active implantable medical devices should:
• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of interference from radio frequency transmitters, such as portable radios
(poorly shielded medical devices may be more susceptible to interference).
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation site, and carry or use the radio on the opposite side of the body
from the implantable device to minimize the potential for interference.
