RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

NOTICE : This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the occupational limits in FCC and International standards. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population consumer use.

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures. Guidelines:

• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.

Operating Instructions

• This equipment complies with FCC / ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for a controlled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 25cm between the antenna and your body.
• This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
• DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is transmitting.
• DO NOT use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

To ensure continued compliance with applicable RF exposure limits, use only RCA Communications Systems approved, supplied or replacement antennas, and accessories. For a list of RCA approved accessories please refer to your user manual or visit www.rcacommunicationssystems.com
