Exposure Instructions

To make sure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC
allowable limits:

* DO NOT operate the radio without an antenna attached, or an antenna other than that
supplied by the manufacturer. Doi ng so could cause you to exceed FCC RF expo sure
limits.

* DO NOT transmit for more tha n 50% of total radio use time. Transmitting more than
50% of the time may exceed FCC RF exposure compliance requirements. (This device is
authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels
for handheld wireless devices.)

* ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when
transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To
provide the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth,
and slightly off to one side.

* ALWAYS maintain a 2.5 cm separation distance from the antenna to a person(s). You,
as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of
bystanders to ensure the minimum 2.5 cm separation distance is maintained between the
antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The operation of this
transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure
Environment, for work-related use. Transmit only when person(s) are at least 2.5 cm
distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. All repairs or maintenance to
the transmitter must be performed by, or under the supervision of, a certified lan d m obile
radio technician. Any adjustments to the transceiver that could result in changes of radio
performance is a violation of FCC rules and is strictly prohibited.

It is unlawful to replace or substitute any component ie. crystal, semiconductor, etc., or to
modify the circuit board of this RF device in any manner. Any component change or
modification to the internal circ uitry is forbidden and is a violation of the FCC rules.

Failure to comply with these guidelines could cause the user to loose the authority to
operate this equipment.
