MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALLERS AND USERS

════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

● Use Only manufacturer or dealer supplied antennas.

● Antenna minimum safe distance: 82cm (32 inches).

● Antenna used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 5.5dBi (for

TM-800UHF) and 3dBi (for TM-800VHF).

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has adopted a safety standard for

human exposure to RF energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health

Act) limits.

● Antenna mounting: The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must not

be mounted at a location such that during radio transmission, any person can come

closer than the above indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna (i.e.

82cm/32inches).

● To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limitations, the antenna must be installed at

or exceeding the minimum safe distance indicated above, and in accordance with the

requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier.

● Vehicle installation: The antenna can be mounted at the center of a vehicle metal roof or

trunk lid if the minimum safe distance is observed.

Antenna substitution: Don’t substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended

by the manufacturer or radio dealer. You may be exposing person(s) to excessive radio

frequency radiation. You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further

instructions.

Warning

Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) at least 82cm (32inches).

“This transmitter is authorized to operate with a maximum duty factor of 50%, in a typical

push-to-talk mode, for satisfying FCC RF exposure compliance requirements.”

BEFORE USING YOUR HYT MOBILE RADIO.

 Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

Your HYT mobile radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and

international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio

frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP

exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at operating duty

factors of up to 50% transmitting and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only.

In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the 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.

Your HYT mobile radio complies with the following of RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

z United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal

Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J

z American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and

Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

z Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition z International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998

Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled

environment RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users

should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following

procedures:

Transmit and Receive

To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to receive, release the PTT button.

 FCC Compliance

Part 15 Compliance

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 radiate 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 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 the following

measures:

　 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

　 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

　 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

　 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Licensing Requirements

Your radio must be properly licensed Federal Communications Commission prior to use.

Your HYT Wireless dealer can assist you in meeting these requirements. Your dealer will

program each radio with your authorized frequencies, signalling codes, etc., and will be

there to meet your communications needs as your system expands.

Precautions

General Safety Standards

* Do not attempt to configure the radio while driving; it is too dangerous.

* Do not operate your radio when someone is either touching the antenna or standing

within 2 or 3 feet of it, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related

physical injury.

* Do not operate the radio near dynamite blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

* Switch OFF the radio while refueling or parking at gas station.

* Turn off your radio in any place where posted notices instruct you to do so.

* Do not modify the radio for any reason.

* Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight over a long time, nor place it close to heating

source.

* Do not place the radio in excessively dusty, humid areas, nor on unstable surfaces.

* Refer service to qualified technicians only.

Operation Safety Guidelines

* For vehicles equipped with electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic ignition

systems or electronic fuel injection systems, interferences may occur during the radio

transmission. If the foregoing electronic equipments are installed on your vehicle,

please contact your dealer for further assistance to make sure that the radio

transmission will not interfere with these equipments.

* For radio installation in vehicles fueled by LP gas with LP gas container within interior of

the vehicles, the following precautions are recommended for personal safety.

(1) Any space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space in

which the LP gas container and its fittings are located.

(2) Remote (outside) fitting connections shall be used.

(3) Good ventilation is required for the container space.

Safety: It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards common

to the operation of any radio.

Installation Safety Guidelines

* Do not mount the mobile radio overhead or on a sidewall unless you take special

precautions.

* If someone were to remove the radio and fail to replace it properly, road shock could bump

the radio loose, and the falling radio could, in some circumstances, cause serious injury

to the driver or a passenger. In a crash, even when properly installed, the radio could

break loose and become a dangerous projectile.

and polarity of the power supply on the vehicle before installation.

2. Be sure to check how far the screw will extend below the radio surface to avoid

damage to the auto wiring or auto parts when drilling mounting holes.

3. Connect the radio with the supplied antenna and power cable before installing the

radio by the mounting bracket.

4. Install the radio securely using the supplied mounting bracket to make sure that the

radio will not loosen in the event of accidents. The loose radio may cause injury to the
