FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR
OCCUPATIONAL USEONLY

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. Maxon 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.

DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting

more than50% 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 user’s 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. 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 PTT bar on the radio.

These are required operating configurations for meeting FCC RF exposure compliance. Failure
to observe these restrictions mean violation.
