About this booklet
This booklet contains important safety and
compliance information. For information about
the way your radio operates, contact your
radio provider.
Before using your radio, please read the following
important safety and compliance information.
Radio frequency exposure information
For your own safety and to ensure you comply
with the Federal Communication Commission’s
(FCC) radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines,
please read the following information before
using this radio.
Using this radio
You should use this radio only for work-related
purposes (it is not authorized for any other use)
and if you are fully aware of, and can exercise
control over, your exposure to RF energy. To
prevent exceeding FCC RF exposure limits, you
must control the amount and duration of RF that
you and other people are exposed to.
It is also important that you:
Q Do not remove the RF Exposure label from
the radio.
4
Safety and compliance information
Q Ensure this RF exposure information accom-
panies the radio when it is transferred to
other users.
Q Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to
the guidelines on controlling your exposure
to RF.
Controlling your exposure to
RF energy
This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or
radio waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a
form of electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight),
and there are recommended levels of maximum
RF exposure.
To control your exposure to RF and comply with
the maximum exposure limits for
occupational/controlled environments, follow
these guidelines:
Q Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than
the rated transmit duty cycle. This is important because the radio radiates more energy
when it is transmitting than when it
is receiving.
Q
While you are transmitting (talking or sending
data) on the radio, you must ensure that there
is always a distance of 35 inches (0.9m)
between people and the antenna. This is the
minimum safe distance. For 110W mobiles,
the minimum safe distance is 44 inches (1.1m).
Safety and compliance information
5
Q Use the radio only with Tait-approved anten-
nas and attachments, and make only authorized modifications to the antenna otherwise
you could damage the radio and violate
FCC regulations.
For more information on what RF energy is and
how to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC
website at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html.
Compliance with RF energy
exposure standards
This two-way radio complies with these RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
Q United States Federal Communications Com-
mission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR
§§ 1.1307, 1.1310, and 2.1091.
Q American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
/ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992
Q Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP
exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF
exposure environments at operating duty factors
of up to 50% talk to 50% listen.
6
Safety and compliance information
Radio frequency emissions limits in
the USA
Part 15 of the FCC Rules imposes RF emission
limits on receivers.
This radio complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this
device does not cause harmful interference.
Unapproved modifications or changes
to radio
The radio is designed to satisfy the applicable
compliance regulations. Do not make
modifications or changes to the radio that are not
expressly approved by Tait Electronics Limited.
Failure to do so could invalidate compliance
requirements and void the user’s authority to
operate the radio.
USA public safety bands
(764–776MHz and 794 –806MHz)
Part 90R of the FCC Title 47 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) deals with the use of
frequencies in the 764 to 776 MHz and
794 to 806MHz bands.
Safety and compliance information
7
Low-power channels
This radio complies with §90.531 (b) (3) and
§90.531 (b) (4) of 47 CFR. These sections state
that only low-power transmission is permitted on
the following channels:
Q Regional Planning channels, as defined in
§90.531 (b) (3).
Q Itinerant channels, as defined in
§90.531 (b) (4).
Use of encryption
This radio complies with §90.553 (a) of 47 CFR.
This states that:
Q Encryption is not permitted on the nation-
wide Interoperability calling channels. These
channels are defined in §90.531 (b) (1) (ii).
Q Radios using encryption must have a readily
accessible switch or control to allow the radio
user to disable encryption.
Frequency band reserved for
distress beacons
Frequency band 406 to 406.1 MHz is reserved for
use by distress beacons. Transmissions should not
be made within this frequency band.
8
Safety and compliance information
Safe radio operation
Warning: Switch off the radio:
Q at petrol filling stations or near flammable
liquids or gases
Q in the vicinity of explosive devices and
blasting zones
Using a handheld microphone or a radio while
driving a vehicle may violate the laws and
legislation that apply in your country or state.
Please check the vehicle regulations in your area.
Interference with electronic devices
Some electronic devices may be prone to
malfunction due to the lack of protection from RF
energy that is present when your radio
is transmitting.
Examples of electronic devices that may be
affected by RF energy are:
Q vehicular electronic systems such as fuel
injection, anti-skid brakes, and cruise control
Q medical devices such as hearing aids
and pacemakers
Q medical equipment in hospitals or health
care facilities.
Safety and compliance information
9
Consult the manufacturer (or its representative)
of the equipment to determine whether these
electronic circuits will perform normally when the
radio is transmitting.
High radio surface temperatures
The bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink
fins can become hot during prolonged operation.
Do not touch these parts of the radio.
110 watt mobiles
Do not place objects on the radio. The heatsink
needs a clearance of at least one inch (2.5cm)
and a free flow of air.
Radio protection when changing the
vehicle battery
Always remove the fuses from the radio power
cable before charging the vehicle battery,
connecting a second battery or using power from
another vehicle (e.g. when “jump-starting”
the vehicle).
