Compliance

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations

PowerTrunk Inc. TETRA radios generate, use and radiate RF energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Radios that comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant of part 15 of the FCC rules, are
identified by an FCC certification ID label (located under the battery).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at their own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.

The device may contain functions that are not operational in U.S Territories
except as noted in the certification filing. The TCB Grant may have extended
frequencies as noted in the certification filing and Section 2.927(b) may apply
to the authorisation. The device complies with 47 CFR Part 90.203 (e), in that
the operator cannot directly program the transmit frequencies using the
normal accessible external controls. All instructions detailed in this manual
must be followed in order to ensure compliance with SAR and RF exposure
limits.

Failure to observe these restrictions may result in exceeding the FCC RF
exposure limits.

Disposing of waste batteries

PowerTrunk Inc. radios are supplied with a rechargeable battery. This symbol
on the battery and its packaging indicates that it must not be disposed of with
household or commercial waste. Please dispose of your waste batteries
according to your national and local regulations. Contact your service
