I. FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements
for Occupational Use Only
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with
its action in General Docket 93-62, November 7, 1997,
has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to
Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated equipment. Topaz3 / Legacy subscribes
to the same safety standard for the use of its products.
Proper operation of this radio will result in user
exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA) and Federal Communications Commission
limits.
CAUTION - 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.
• This radio is NOT approved for use by the general
population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio
is restricted to occupational use, work related operations
only where radio operator must have the knowledge to
control the users exposure conditions for satisfying the
higher exposure limit allowed for occupational use.
• When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position
with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm) away from your
mouth.
• This device has been approved for use, at a maximum
duty factor of 50%, using the specific belt clip and
leather belt-holster tested for body-worn SAR compliance. Other belt clips or body-worn accessories may

not comply and should be avoided. ALWAYS use
Maxon, Legacy and TruTalk authorized accessories:
antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker mics, etc.
• The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the
front of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio
to transmit by pressing the P-T-T bar on the radio.
• These are required operating configurations for meeting
FCC RF exposure compliance. Failure to observe these
restrictions mean violation.
