For your safety

Before using your radio, please read the following important safety and compliance inform a tio n.

Radio frequency exposure information

For your own safety and to ensure you comply with the radio frequency (RF) exposu re gu ide line s of th e United States Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC), Industry Canada, and those from other administrations, please read the following in formation before using this radio.

Using this radio

You should use this radio only for work-related purposes (it is not authorized for any other use) and if you are fully aware of, and can exercise control over, your exposure to RF energy. To prevent exceeding FCC RF exposure limits, you must control the amount and duration of RF that you and other people are exposed to.

It is also important that you:

■ Do not remove the RF Exposure label from

the radio.

■ Ensure this RF exposure information accompa-

nies the radio when it is transferred to other users.

■ Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the

guidelines on controlling your exposure to RF.

Controlling your exposure to RF energy

Warning RF exposure hazard!

To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure limits, mount the antenna at a lo cation such that no person or persons can come closer than 35 inches (0.9 m) to the antenna: For radios with a transmit power >25 W:

For your safety 7

VHF radios must be installed using an antenna mounted centrally on the vehicle roof, with a gain of

2.15 dBi or 5.15 dBi. UHF and 800 MHz radios must be installed using an antenna mounted either centrally on the vehicle roof with a gain of 2.15 dBi or 5.65 dBi, or centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain of 5.65 dBi. 900 MHz radios must be installed using an antenna mounted either centrally on the vehicle roof or centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain of 2.15 dBi or 8 dBi. For radios with a transmit power of 25 W: The radio must be installed using an externally mounted antenna with a gain of either 2.15 dBi or

5.15 dBi. This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or radio

waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a form of electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight), and there are recommended levels of maximum RF exposure.

To control your exposure to RF and comply with the maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled environments, follow these guidelines:

■ Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the

rated transmit duty cycle. This is important because the radio radiates more energy when it is transmitting than when it is receiving.

■ While you are transmitting (talking or sending

data) on the radio, you must ensure that there is always a distance of 35 inches (0.9 m) between people and the antenna. This is the minimum safe distance.

■ Use the radio only with Harris-approved antennas

and attachments, and make only authorized modi-fications to the antenna otherwise you could dam-age the radio and violate FCC regulations.

For more information on what RF energy is and how to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at

www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html.

8 For your safety

Health Canada warning statement

The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from the Health Canada’s website

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

Declaration of conformity

Brief Declarations of Conformity appear on page 60 of this booklet. To download the formal declaration of conformity, go to www.taitradio.com/eudoc.

Interference with electronic devices

Warning Some electronic devices may be prone to

malfunction due to the lack of protection from RF energy that is present when your radio is transmitting.

Examples of electronic devices that may be affected by RF energy are:

■ aircraft electronic systems

■ vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injec-

tion, anti-skid brakes, and cruise control

■ medical devices such as pacemakers and hear ing

aids

■ medical equipment in hospitals or health car e

facilities.

Switch off the radio before boarding an aircraft. Using your radio while in the air is not permitted.

Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of any such electronic devices to determine whether electronic circuits in those devices will perform normally when the radio is transmitting.

Warning If you have a pacemaker, immediately turn off the radio if you suspect it is interfering with the pacemaker.

If there is interference between your hearing aid and the radio, please discuss an alternative solution with the hearing aid manufacturer.

For your safety 13

Potentially explosive atmospheres and blasting areas

Warning Unless the radio is specifically certified for

use in a potentially explosive atmosphere, turn off the radio before entering such an atmosphere. An explosion could cause serious injury or death. Examples of potentially explosive atmospheres include filling stations, and any environment where there are flammable liquids, gases, or dusts.

Warning Turn off the radio before approaching blasting caps, a blasting area, or any area wh ere you are instructed to turn off a two-way radio. Obey all signs and instructions. Interference with blasting operations could cause serious injury or death.

Radio installation and operation in vehicles

Warning Keep the radio away from airbags and

airbag deployment areas. Do not install, charge, or place a radio near such areas. An activated airbag can propel a portable radio with sufficient force to cause serious injury to vehicle occupants. An airbag may not perform to specification if obstructed by a radio.

Warning T o avoid damage to existing wiring, airbags, fuel tanks, fuel and brake lines, or battery cables, refer to the installation guide for the radio, and to the vehicle manufacturer’s manual, before installing electronic equipment in the vehicle.

Using a handheld microphone or a radio while driving a vehicle may violate the laws and legislation that apply in your country or state. Please check the vehicle regulations in your are a.

14 For your safety

Radio protection when charging the vehicle battery

Always remove the fuses from the radio power cable before charging the vehicle battery, connecting a second battery, or using power from another vehicle (e.g. when jump-starting the vehicle).

Electromagnetic compatibility in European vehicles

In the European Community, radio equipment fitted to automotive vehicles is regulated by Directive 72/245/ EEC and its amendments. The requirements of this directive cover the electromagnetic compatibility of electrical or electronic equipment fitted to automotive vehicles.

To meet the requirements of Directive 72/245/EEC and its amendments, installation of this product in a vehicle must be performed according to the instructions provided by the vehicle manufacturer

Notice Failure to install the product correctly may void the vehicle’s type-approval. The owner could be held responsible for any damage resulting from vehicle failure that can be attributed to RF energy interfering with the vehicle systems.

For your safety 15

Unapproved modifications or changes to radio

The radio is designed to satisfy the applicable compliance regulations. Do not make modifications or changes to the radio that are not expressly approved by Harris. Failure to do so could invalidate compliance requirements and void the user’s authority to operate the radio.

High radio surface temperatures

Caution The bottom surface of the radio and the

heatsink fins can become hot during prolonged operation. Do not touch these parts of the radio.

EN 60950 requirements (25 watt mobiles)

This radio complies with the European Union standard EN 60950 when operated up to the rated 33% duty cycle of two minutes transmit and four minutes receive, and with ambient temperatures of 30 °C or lower.

Caution Operation outside these limits may cause the external temperature of the radio to rise higher than this standard permits.
