. 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.
l 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.
l When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm) away from your
mouth. Keep the antenna at least 2 inches (2.5 cm) from your head and body.
l This device has been approved for use, at a maximum duty factor of 50%, using the specific belt clip
tested for body-worn SAR compliance. Other belt clips or body-worn accessories may not comply and
should be avoided. 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.
l
These are required operating configurations for meeting FCC RF exposure compliance. Failure to observe
these restrictions mean violation.
