Safety Information :

Your wireless hand -held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push -to-Talk (PTT) key is
pushed it sends out COMMUNICATOR frequency (RF) signals. This devise is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to
exceed 50%.
In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
hand-held wireless devices.

Important Note: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, hold the transmitter and ANTENNA at
least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed away from the face.
If you wear the handset on your body while using the headset accessory, use only the manufacturer’s supplied BELT
CLIP for this product and ensure that the ANTENNA is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.

Use only supplied ANTENNA. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and
may violate FCC regulations.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
