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.
2
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 using labels, or by education and
training through appropriate means such as information and instructions in user
manuals or safety booklets. Your Advanced Wireless Communications’ two-way
radio has an RF exposure information label in the battery compartment. The
training material below includes useful information about RF exposure and
3
helpful instructions on how to control your RF exposure. Your Advanced
Wireless Communications 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 c om plia nce with t he
occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the
following procedures:
4
*Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the PushToTalk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50%
of the time or less is important since the radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).
* For body-worn operation, always place the radio in an AWC 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. AWC approved accessories, antennas, and device combinations
comply with the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. Using
non-AWC approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed
the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. AWC
approved accessories have been tested and comply with FCC RF exposure
5
requirements.
*If 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 at a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body
when transmitting. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF
exposure decreases with inc reas ing distance from the antenna.
*Use only FCC-approved, supplied or replacement headsets, batteries, and
accessories intended for use with this radio. Use of non-FCC approved headsets, batteries and accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.

INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
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
residential installations. 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 off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
10
the following measures:
• 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 with 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).
