ATTENTION!
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS CHAPTER WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPER- ATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides published prior to February 2002.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and Operational Instructions for FCC Oc- cupational Use Requirements
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC lim- its. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use.
This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communica- tions between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromag- netic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for ex- ample, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both work- ers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protec- tion.
PRoDuct Safety anD Rf eneRgy exPoSuRe
All Vertex Standard 2-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-
established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specic operating instructions
6
to users of 2-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy expo- sure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following Web sites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to con- trol your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
Federal Communication Commission Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile 2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as a consequence of employ- ment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational
requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specic user
awareness information. Your Vertex Standard 2-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your Vertex Standard user manual, or separate safety booklet, includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standard
Your Vertex Standard two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and interna- tional standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF expo- sure environment at duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
PRoDuct Safety anD Rf eneRgy exPoSuRe

Your Vertex Standard two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-
part J
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
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromag-
netic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Expo-
sure) Standard, 2003
ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) additional requirements for SMR,
cellular, and PCS product certication.”
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and to ensure compliance with the RF exposure limits, always ad- here to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk
(PTT) button or, for radios equipped with VOX, speak into the microphone. The red LED will illuminate when the radio is transmitting. To receive calls, release the PTT button, or, for radios equipped with VOX,
PRoDuct Safety anD Rf eneRgy exPoSuRe
stop talking. The red LED will extinguish when the radio stops transmitting. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting
8
(in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral
distance away, as shown in Table 1, from the body of a vehicle with a properly installed antenna.
This separation distance will ensure that there is sufcient distance from a properly installed (according to
installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the stan- dards listed above.
NOTE: Table 1 below lists the recommended lateral distance for people in an uncontrolled environment
from the body of a vehicle with an approved, properly installed transmitting antenna (i.e., mono- poles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at several different ranges of rated radio power for mobile radios installed in a vehicle.
Table 1. Rated Power of Vehicle-Installed Mobile Two-Way Radio and
Recommended Minimum Lateral Distance from Vehicle Body
Mobile Radio Rated Power (see Note) Minimum Lateral Distance from Vehicle Body
Less than 7 watts 8 inches (20 centimeters)
7 to 15 watts 1 foot (30 centimeters)
16 to 39 watts 2 feet (60 centimeters)
40 to 110 watts 3 feet (90 centimeters)
When a mobile radio is used in conjunction with another co-located transmitter such as a Vehicular
Repeater, it is the vehicle operators responsibility to take appropriate steps to keep bystanders at the required separation distance from the vehicle to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF energy exposure limits for the general population. See the co-located transmitters user manual for more details.
PRoDuct Safety anD Rf eneRgy exPoSuRe
NOTE: If you are not sure of the rated power of your radio, contact your Vertex Standard representative or
dealer and supply the radio model number found on the radio model label. If you can not determine the rated power out, then assure 3-feet separation from the body of the vehicle. The maximum power shown on the FCC Grant may be higher than the rated power allowing for production variation.

Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines
These mobile antenna installation guidelines are limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles with ap-
propriate ground planes.
Antennas should be installed in the center area of the roof or the trunk lid taking into account exposure
conditions of backseat passengers and according to the specic instructions and restrictions in the Radio
Installation Manual along with the requirements of the antenna supplier.
Trunk lid installations are limited to vehicles with clearly dened at trunk lids, and in some cases, to spe-
cic radio models and antennas. See the Radio Installation Manual for specic information on how and where to install specic types of approved antennas to facilitate recommended operating distances to all
potentially exposed persons.
Use only the Vertex Standard -approved, supplied antenna or a Vertex Standard-approved replace-
ment antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modications, or attachments could damage the radio and may
result in non-compliance with RF Safety Standards.
Approved Accessories
This radio has been tested and meets RF Safety Standards when used with the Vertex Standard acces-
sories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may result in non-compliance with RF Safety Standards.

Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed as Fixed Site Control Stations
If mobile radio equipment is installed at a xed location and operated as a control station or as a xed unit,
the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards and guidelines listed on page 4:
The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.
As with all xed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the site in ac-
cordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may require additional compliance actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.
For additional installation information, see the guidelines for minimum separation distances provided
above in the RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions section of this document.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed, or otherwise congured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be necessary to
conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equipment used in or around vehicles or near xed site antenna is sensitive to external RF energy or if any procedures need to be followed to elimi- nate or mitigate the potential for interaction between the radio transmitter and the equipment or device.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conicts, turn off your radio in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensi- tive to external RF energy.
PRoDuct Safety anD Rf eneRgy exPoSuRe

When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the programmed scan list for the current channel looking for voice activity.
The yellow LED blinks and you see the scan icon on the display.
During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and your radio locks onto an analog chan- nel, it automatically switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of the call. This is

also true for the reverse.
There are two ways of initiating scan:

Privacy
n
If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdrop- ping by unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a software-based scrambling solution. The signaling and user identication portions of a trans- mission are not scrambled.
Your radio must have privacy enabl ed on t he channel to send a privacy-enabled transmission, although this is not a necessary requirement for re- ceiving a transmission. While on a privacy-enabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear (un- scrambled) transmissions.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data trans- mission, your radio must be programmed to have the same Privacy Key as the transmitting radio.
If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a different Privacy Key, you will hear a garbled trans- mission.
The green LED lights up while the radio is transmit- ting and blinks green rapidly when the radio is re- ceiving an ongoing privacy-enabled transmission.
Procedure: Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle privacy on or off. OR Follow the procedure below.
