WARNING
This radio is capable of transmitting on VHF Marine and FRS.
The FCC allows the use of VHF Marine band on water areas only. How-
ever the FCC does not allow the use of the VHF Marine band when on
land. If persons use the VHF Marine Band on land and interfere with
others communicating, the FCC will be notified and search for the interference. Responsible parties found to be transmitting on the VHF Marine Band on land could be fined up to $10,000 for the first offense.
FRS Band may be used on the land and water. The FCC does however
prohibit the use in aircraft.

RF EXPOSURE SAFETY STATEMENT
SAFETY INFORMATION
Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with
safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.
This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%
(this corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50% reception time).
WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a
normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at
the required separation distance.
If you use a headset accessory for this radio, with the radio worn on
your body, use only the Vertex Standard belt clip for this transceiver,
and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from
your body when transmitting.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regulations.
NOTE
This radio telephone complies with the requirements of RTCM Paper
56-95/SC101 Standards for digital selective calling (DSC) for Marine
transceivers.
