Safety Training Information
Your radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode.
This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”,
meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and ways to minimize such hazards.
This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an
uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only”. In addition, the radio complies with the following
Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic
energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3KHz to 300 GHz.
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always
adhere to the following guidelines:
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as
this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed
FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied
with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically
authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can
cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red. You
can cause the radio to transmit by pressing “PTT” switch.
ALWAYS use authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt
clips, speaker/mic, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can
4
HUM1200 2/11/04 8:27 PM Page 4
cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5cm (1inch) away from the
body when transmitting, and only use the belt-clips when attaching
the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your
transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5cm
(2 inches) from mouth, slightly away from mouth, and slightly off to
one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the information
needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to
assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits.
Electromagnetic Interference/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. DO NOT
operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
