RF Safety
This Two Way Ridio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. RF energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits: http://wwwwho.int/en/
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor 50% of the time. Transmitting necessary information or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring for standards compliance. For users who wish to further reduce their exposure, some effective measures to reduce RF exposure include:
• Reduce the amount of time spent using your wireless device.
Use a speakerphone, earpiece, headset, or other hands-free accessory to reduce proximity to the head (and thus head exposure).
While wired earpieces may conduct some energy to the head and wireless earpieces also emit a smal amount of RF energy, both wired and wireless earpieces remove the greatest source of RF energy (handheld device) from proximity to the head and thus can greatly reduce total exposure to the head.
Increase the distance between wireless devices and your body.
This radio is designed for and classified as “General population/uncontrolled use. General population/uncontrolled environments are defined as locations where there is exposure of individuals who have no knowledge or control of RF exposure level.
Hand-held Mode
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure
To receive calls, release the pr button. -To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (pTT) button in front of the face.
-Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the nose or lips.
For body-worn operation, this radio has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifcations or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so, such as hospitals or healthcare facilities.
Persons with pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or other active implantable medical devices should:
- Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of interference from radio frequency transmitters, such as portable radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more susceptible to interference).
- Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
- Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation site, and carry or use the radio on the opposite side of the body from the implantable device to minimize the potential for interference.
Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn off your radio in the following conditions:
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially hazardous or explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”.
Note: the areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred to above include blasting caps, blasting areas, inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Use of Communication Devices While Driving
Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the areas where you drive. Use of Communication Devices, for example, mobile radio, may not be allowed.
- Give full attention to driving and to the road.
- Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions or regulations so require.
- Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the airbag deployment area. The radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle when the airbag inflates.
Protect your hearing
Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job. Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
- When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio’s speaker directly against your ear.
- Use carefully with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
CAUTION: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect your hearing.
The louder the radio’s volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
Batteries Safety
- WARNING: KEEP NEW OR OLD USED BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
- Since batteries are sensitive to high temperatures when storing them, keep them in a cool and dry place. The recommended temperature should be between +10 Cand +25Cand never exceed +30’C. Batteries should therefore not be stored next to radiators or boilers nor in direct sunlight. Extremes of humidity (below 35% and above 95% relative humidity for sustained periods should be avoided since they are detrimental to both batteries and packing. Although the storage life of batteries at room temperature is good, storage is improved at lower temperatures provided special precautions are taken. Also, accelerated warming is harmful.
- Turn off your radio before removing or installing a battery. Store spare batteries securely. Dispose of used batteries immediately and safely.
- The battery supply terminals are not to be short-circuit.
- Do not replace the battery in any area labeled “Hazardous Atmosphere”. Any sparks created in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause explosion or fire.
- When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touches exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects;
- Dirty battery contacts need to be wiped with clean dry cloth, both on the battery and in the appliance.
- Batteries should be removed from the appliance when not being used for long periods of time (months). The batteries should be enclosed in special protective packaging (such as sealed plastic bags or variants) which should be retained to protect them from
condensation during the time they are warming to ambient temperature. - Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the equipment.
- Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries. Batteries should be dismantled only by trained people.
- Batteries shall be charged at 10 °C-40°C environment temperature specified. If the environment temperature is lower than 0°C, the charge shall be prohibited.
- Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged by adults or by children at least 8 years old under adult supervision.
WARINING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years old.
