Radio frequency exposure information

For your own safety and to ensure you comply

with the radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines

of the United States Federal Communication

Commission’s (FCC), Industry Canada, and those

from other administrations, please read the

following information before using this radio.

Using this radio

You should use this radio only for work-related

purposes (it is not authorized for any other use)

and if you are fully aware of, and can exercise

control over, your exposure to RF energy. To

prevent exceeding RF exposure limits, you must

control the amount and duration of RF that you

and other people are exposed to.

It is also important that you:

■Do not remove the RF exposure label from the

radio.

■Ensure this RF exposure information

accompanies the radio when it is transferred to

other users.

■Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the

guidelines on controlling your exposure to RF.

Controlling your exposure to RF energy

This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or

radio waves primarily when calls are made. RF is

a form of electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight),

and there are recommended levels of maximum

RF exposure.

Warning RF exposure hazard!

To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF

exposure limits, mount the antenna at a location

such that no person or persons can come closer

than 35 inches (0.9m) to the antenna:

For radios with a transmit power >25W:

VHF radios must be installed using an antenna

mounted centrally on the vehicle roof, with a gain

of 2.15dBi or 5.15dBi.

UHF and 800MHz radios must be installed using

an antenna mounted either centrally on the vehi-

cle roof with a gain of 2.15dBi or 5.65dBi, or

centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain of

5.65dBi.

900MHz radios must be installed using an

antenna mounted either centrally on the vehicle

roof or centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain

of 2.15dBi or 8dBi.

For radios with a transmit power of 25W:

The radio must be installed using an externally

mounted antenna with a gain of either 2.15dBi or

5.15dBi.

To control your exposure to RF and comply with

the maximum exposure limits for

occupational/controlled environments, follow

these guidelines:

■Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than

the rated transmit duty cycle. This is important

because the radio radiates more energy when

it is transmitting than when it is receiving.

■While you are transmitting (talking or sending

data) on the radio, you must ensure that there

is always a distance of 35 inches (0.9m)

between people and the antenna. This is the

minimum safe distance.
