RF Radiation Information

RF Radiation Profile

Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation in the range at which radio signals are

transmitted. RF technology is widely used in communication, medicine, food processing and other fields.

It may generate radiation during use.

RF Radiation Safety

In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant industries including science, engineering, medicine

and health work with international organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF radiation.

These standards consist of:

¾ United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2

sub-part J;

¾ American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)

C95. 1-1992;

¾ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1 – 1999;

¾ International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998;

FCC Regulations

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requires that all radio communication products should meet

the requirements set forth in the above standards before they can be marketed in the U.S, and the

manufacturer shall post a RF label on the product to inform users of operational instructions, so as to

enhance their occupational health against exposure to RF energy.

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:

(1) Your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it

is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.

(2) Keep the radio at least 2.5 centimeters away from your body during transmission.

EU Regulatory Conformance

As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and

other relevant provisions of the Directive 1999/5/EC. Please note that the above information is applicable

to EU countries only.

Safety Instructions

To protect you against any property loss, bodily injury or even death,

be sure to observe the following safety instructions:

z Use only the Ex-battery BL1807-Ex specified by the Company. The use of other batteries may result

in Ex-protection failure.

z Charge the battery in a non-hazardous area only with the designated charger.

z Use the accessories specified by the Company only.

z Do not carry any standby battery into a hazardous area.

z Do not use a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor

burn may result.

z Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight for a long time, nor place it close to a heating source.

z Hold the radio upright and keep its microphone 2.5 to 5 centimeters away from your mouth during

use.

z If you wear a radio on your body, ensure its antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters away from your body

during transmission.

z Do not carry the radio into Division 0.

z Do not disassemble the radio or replace the accessories in a hazardous area.

z Do not modify the intrinsically safe radio in any way . Unauthorized modification of the radio may

result in termination of Ex-protection.
