For your safety

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 radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines of the

United States Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC), Industry Canada, and those from other administrations, 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/ISEDC 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:

■Do not remove the RF Exposure label from the radio.

■Ensure this RF exposure information accompanies the radio when it is transferred to other users.

■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:

For your safety 7

■Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated transmit duty cycle(50%). This is important because the radio radiates more energy when it is transmitting than when it is receiving.

■When listening and talking on the radio, hold it upright in front of your face so that it is at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from any part of your face. Keeping the radio at the recommended distance is important because exposure to RF decreases rapidly the further away the antenna is from

your body.

■Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your face at all times.

■If you wear your radio, you must always put it in a carrying accessory carry accessory that has been specifically approved by Tait for this radio. Using non-approved body-worn accessories may mean you expose yourself to higher levels of RF than recommended by the FCC/ISEDC’s occupational /controlled environment RF exposure limits.
