RF Safety

Thls two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy ln 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://www.who.int/en/

Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from the proper antenna. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or specifically authorized by the local authority for use with this radio. Thls radio can only be operated by use of an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) galn approved for the transmitter under regulations and rules. This transmitter must operate with the antenna{s) documented and in Push-to-Talk and body-worn configurations as documented.Using Authorized accessories is important because the use of Non-Retevis accessories may result in exposure levels, whlch exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP RF exposure limits. Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 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.Some measures to reduce your RF exposure include:

– educe the amount of time spent using your wireless device.
– Use a speakerphone, earpiece, headset, or 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 small 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 “Occupational/Controlled Use Only•. Occupation­al/Controlled environments are defined as locations where there is exposure that may be incurred by people who are aware of the potential of exposure. It meaning a radio must be used only by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards;

NOT intended for use in a General population/uncontrolled environment.

For hand held devices:

Hand-held Mode
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:

– To receive calls, release the PTT buttonJo transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (PTI) 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.

Electromagnetic: lnterfeA1nce/Compatlblltty

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.Jo avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so,such as hospitals or health care 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 eortable radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more susceptible to interference}.
• Tum the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking 16 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 their 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.

Tum off your radio power In the following conditions:

• Tum off your radio before removing or installing accessory.
• Tum off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially hazardous or explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are

WARNING 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 area, inflammable gas, dust partides, 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.

• Tum off your radio when taking on fuel or parked at gasoline service stations.
• Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a minor bum can result.
• Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. The radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle when the air bag inflates.
• Tum off your radio when on board an aircraft. Al1y use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
