RF Energy Exposure Information

RF Energy Exposure Awareness And Control Information For Fcc Occupational Use Requirements

I before using the DIGITAL MOBILE RADIO, review the following important RF energy awareness and control information and operational instructions. Comply with this information and instructions in order to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.e the capability to access information in that form.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by ZTE TRUNKING TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses 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, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which, when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy.These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control 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 Communications Commission Regulations

Before it was marketed in the United States, the Digital portable radio was tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy exposure limits for two-way portable radios. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, 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 specific user awareness information. The radio has an RF exposure product label.Also, the Product Safety Manual and this Operator’s Manual include information and operating instructions required to control RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
