User Safety, Training, and General Information

READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND
EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR RELM
HANDHELD PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.

Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

Your RELM two-way 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.
Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated

for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk-5% listen-90% standby),
even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational
RF exposure limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk.

Your RELM two-way radio complies with the following of RF
energy exposure standards and guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of

Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J

• American National Standards Institute (ANS)/Institute of

Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-

1999 Edition

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) 1998

OWNER’S MANUAL

• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human

Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3kHz to 300GHz, 1999

• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications

(Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard 1999
(applicable to wireless phones only)

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:

Transmit and Receive

To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to re­ceive, release the PTT button.

Hand-held radio operation

Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to
two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.

Body-worn operation

• Always place the radio in a RELM approved clip, holder, hol-

ster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of non-RELM­approved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.

• If you do not use a RELM approved body-worn accessory and are

not using the radio in the intended use position in front of the
face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept 2.5 cm (one
inch) from the body when transmitting.

Antennas & Batteries

• Use only RELM approved, supplied antenna or RELM approved

replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas; modifications,
or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC
regulations.

RELM Wireless Corporation

OWNER’S MANUAL

• Use only RELM approved, supplied batteries or RELM approved

replacement batteries. Use of non-RELM-approved batteries
may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.

FCC Compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular instal­lation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip­ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter­ference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

Industry Canada Compliance

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 Canada.
