Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

Your Quantun mobile radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national

and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to

radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and

ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty

cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and should be used for occupational use only. In terms

of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio

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

receiving (listening) or in standby mode.

Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

z Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition

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

z Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio

Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3KHz to 300GHz,

1999

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:
