Product Safety and RF Exposure for Portable Two-Way Radios
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled applications where users
have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their
exposure. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer or similar
use.
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THE TRAINING MATERIAL BELOW WHICH CONTAINS
IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS
AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN
APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from portable
two-way radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits
before portable two-way radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for
occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and
exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished by
the use of labels, or by education and training through appropriate means, such as information and
instructions in user manuals or safety booklets. Your Advanced Wireless two-way radio has an RF
exposure information label in the battery compartment. The training material below includes useful
information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control your RF exposure.
Your Advanced Wireless two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national
and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure
guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not
when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Portable Two-Way Radios
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures:
zHold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone positioned at least one
inch (2.5 cm) away from the lips. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important since RF
exposure decreases with increasing distance from the antenna.
zFor body-worn operation, always place the radio in an FCC approved belt-clip or similar
accessory that contains no metallic components and provides a minimum separation distance of
1.3 cm between the back of the radio and the user’s body. FCC-approved accessories, antennas,
and device combinations comply with the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
RF exposure information on FCC-approved accessories, antennas, and device combinations can
be found under the “Display Exhibits” section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching using
the FCC Identifier (FCC ID), which can be obtained from the label on your radio. Using non–FCC
approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s
occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
zIf you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio held in front of the face,
ensure the radio is kept a minimum of 1.3 cm from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio
2
at a proper distance is important since RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from the
antenna.
zUse only FCC-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories intended
for use with this radio. Use of non–FCC approved antennas, batteries and accessories may
exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.

INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
f
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
generate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment of
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer for technical assistance.
SAFETY INFORMATION:
Your wireless portable two-way radio has been designed using a low power transmitter.
When the PTT switch is pressed, the radio generates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
(EME). This radio is designed to comply with the FCC Report and Order
FCC 96-326 (August, 1996).
User Safety Information
PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR Advanced
Wireless Communications PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.
Only qualified technicians are allowed to maintain this product.
To avoid electromagnetic interference, turn off your radio in places where posted notices
