10 For your safety
IS/NI radios, batteries, antennas and accessories must
not be engraved or modified in any way. Do not use the
radio, battery or accessory if it is cracked or damaged. Do
not use the antenna if the sheathing is split or the end cap
is missing. Do not expose the radio to solvents. IS/NI
radios and accessories must be serviced only by an
agency certified by both the approval authority and by Tait
Limited. Any unauthorized repair or substitution of parts
invalidates the IS/NI rating and the third party IS/NI
approval. To have an IS/NI radio serviced, return it to your
regional Tait office.

Rating matching
The rating of the radio, battery and accessories must be
reviewed to ensure a safe IS/NI radio system. IS/NI
ratings must be “matched”, and the lowest approval level
determines the overall IS/NI radio system approval.
Equipment labels clearly identify the item’s ratings.

Temperature class
Different ambient temperature ranges apply for the T3
and T4 temperature classes. The item with the most
restrictive temperature range will determine the allowed
temperature range of the radio system. T4-rated radios

Radio frequency exposure information
18 For your safety
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 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:
■
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.
■
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 that has been specifically
approved by Tait for this radio. Using nonapproved body-worn accessories may mean you
expose yourself to higher levels of RF than recommended by the FCC’s occupational/controlled
environment RF exposure limits.
■
Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories.
For more information on what RF energy is and how to
control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html

Interference with electronic devices
Warning
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:
■
aircraft electronic systems
■
vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injection,
anti-skid brakes, and cruise control
■
medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing
aids
■
medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities.
Switch off the radio before boarding an aircraft. Using your
radio while in the air is not permitted.
Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of any
such electronic devices to determine whether electronic
circuits in those devices will perform normally when the
radio is transmitting.
Warning
■
immediately turn off the radio if you suspect it is inter-
If you have a pacemaker:
fering with the pacemaker
24 For your safety
■
keep the radio at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the
pacemaker while the radio is on
■
use the radio on the side opposite to the pacemaker
to minimize interference
■
never carry the radio in a breast pocket.
If there is interference between your hearing aid and the
radio, please discuss an alternative solution with the
hearing aid manufacturer.
Potentially explosive atmospheres and
blasting areas
Warning
in a potentially explosive atmosphere, turn off the radio
before entering such an atmosphere. An explosion could
cause serious injury or death. Examples of potentially
explosive atmospheres include filling stations, and any
environment where there are flammable liquids, gases, or
dusts.
Warning
caps, a blasting area, or any area where you are
instructed to turn off a two-way radio. Obey all signs and
instructions. Interference with blasting operations could
cause serious injury or death.
Unless the radio is specifically certified for use

deployment areas. Do not install, charge, or place a radio
near such areas. An activated airbag can propel a
portable radio with sufficient force to cause serious injury
to vehicle occupants. An airbag may not perform to
specification if obstructed by a radio.
Warning
fuel tanks, fuel and brake lines, or battery cables, refer to
the installation guide for the radio, and to the vehicle
manufacturer’s manual, before installing electronic
equipment in the vehicle.

Engraving and modification of intrinsically
safe radios
Warning
radios and batteries must not be engraved or modified in
any way. For more information on IS and NI radios refer to
Intrinsically Safe (IS) and non-incendive (NI)

Attaching of labels
Warning
the vent hole on the radio chassis label. If the vent on the
battery is obstructed, the battery may explode, causing
personal injury and/or damage to property. If the vent on
the radio is obstructed, audio quality and/or key function
may deteriorate and radio seals may be damaged.
Caution
labels to the surfaces between the radio chassis and the
battery. The fit between these surfaces is intentionally firm
and any added thickness will damage the points of
attachment between radio and battery. If you must attach
a customized label, use only a thin gummed paper label
applied to the bottom 25% of the radio chassis label and/
or to the top 25% of the battery label. Do not obstruct the
vent holes (see Warning above). Do not allow the paper
label to extend beyond the recessed label area or to
conceal relevant product information.
Do not obstruct the vent hole on the battery or
