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
.
For your safety 19
Compliance with RF energy exposure standards
This two-way radio complies with these RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307,
1.1310, and 2.1093.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Insti­tute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992.
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
European Directive 2004/40/EC on minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields).
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.
