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 contro l 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

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.

For your safety 7

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 th e

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

■ When listening and talking on the radi o, hold it

upright in front of your face so that it is at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from any part of your face. Keeping the radio at the recommended dist ance is important because exposure to RF decreases ra pidly the further away the antenna is from your body.

■ Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from

your face at all times.

■ If you wear your radio, you must always use a

carry accessory that has been specif ically approved by Tait for this radio. Using nonapproved body-worn accessories may mean yo

u expose yourself to higher levels of RF than r ecommended by the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.

■ Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, bat-

teries, and accessories.

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.

Compliance with RF energy exposure standards

This two-way radio complies with these RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

■ United States Federal Communications Commis-

sion, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§

1.1307, 1.1310, and 2.1093.

USA public safety bands (764 -776 MHz and 794 - 806 MHz)

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 47 Subpart R deals with the use of fr equencies in the 764 to 776 MHz and 794 to 806 MHz bands.

Low-power channels

This radio complies with § 90.531 (b) (3) and

§ 90.531 (b) (4) of 47 CFR. These sections state that only low-power transmission is permitted on the following channels:

■ Regional Planning channels, as defined in

For your safety 11

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

■ keep the radio at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the

pacemaker while the radio is on

■ use the radio on the side opposite to the pace-

maker to minimize interference

■ never carry the radio in a breast pocket.

If there is in

terference between your hearing aid and the radio, please discuss an altern ative solution with the hearing aid manu

facturer.

12 For your safety

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 wiri ng, 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.

For your safety 13

Vehicle charger installation and operation

For detailed instructions necessary to the safe installation and operation of the vehicle charger, please refer to the documentation supplied with the vehicle charger.

Multicharger safety information

Warning This device must be connected to an

earthed mains socket-outlet. Norsk (no): Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt. Suomi (fi): Laite on liitettävä

suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan.

Svenska (sv): Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag.

14 For your safety

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 Tait. Failure to do so could invalidate compliance requirements and void the user’s authority to oper ate the radio.

Attaching of labels

Warning Do not obstruct the vent hole on the battery

or the vent hole on the radio chassis label. If the vent on the battery is obstructed, the battery may explode, causing personal injury and/or damage to property. If the vent on the radio is obstructed, audio quality and/ or key function may deteriorate and radio seals may be damaged.

Caution Tait recommends that you do not affix additional labels to the surfaces between the radio chassis and the battery. The fit between these surfaces is intentionally firm and any added thickness will damage the points of attachment between radio and battery . If you must att ach a customized label, use only a thin gummed paper label applied to the bottom 25% of the radio chassis label and/or to the top 25% of the battery label. Do not obstruct the vent holes (see Warning above). Do not allow the paper label to extend beyond the recessed label area or to conceal relevant product information.

Use of lithium-ion batteries

Warning A damaged battery can cause an explosion

or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or property damage. To prevent personal injury and/or damage to property, read the important safety information supplied with the battery.

For your safety 15

Short-circuiting battery contacts

Warning Do not short-circuit the battery contacts,

neither intentionally nor accide n tally, e.g. by placing the battery with conductive materials such as keys or jewelry inside a pocket or container. Short-circuiting the battery contacts can heat up the conductive material and cause personal injury and/or d amage to property.
