Handheld Transceiver Safety Guidelines and Instruction
To control the transceiver radiation, ensure to meet the general or non- controlled environment radiation imitation standard, please operate following below procedures. Press PTT key when talking; and release PTT key when receiving. Because measured RF energy radiation will be generated when transmitting, so transmitting time should not exceed 50% of the using time.
Place the transceiver vertically on the front, make sure the microphone (and other parts including the antenna) is lessno than 1 to 2 inches (i.e. 2.5 to 5cm) away from your lips when transmitting signals. It is very important to keep the correct distance from the  transceiver, since the farther away the less radiation. If you carry the portable transceiver around your body please, put into Ownznn specially designed fixture, leather, box or other annex. If not, the body by radiation will be out of range of general or non-controlled environment RF radiation limitation that required by Radio Authority, Ministry of Information Industry.

If you do not use any accessories, not place the transceiver on the front specified location, please make sure that it is no thanless 1 inch (about 2.5cm) away from your body when transmitting signals. It is very important to keep the correct distance from the transceiver, since the farther away the less radiation. Only use the certified and provision antenna, battery and accessories or other alternatives by Ownznn. If not, the radiation will be out of range of RF radiation that required by Radio Authority, Ministry of Information Industry. Below web site lists the approved parts and accessories by Ownznn

Electromagnetic Interference / Electromagnetic Compatibility

Remark: Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) occurs in nearly every piece of electronic equipment, by not enough shielding, improper design or incorrect electromagnetic compatibility configuration. Not allowed to change the transmitting frequency, to increase the transmission power (including the installation of additional RF power amplifier). Not allowed to use an external antenna or other transmitting antenna. Shall not cause harmful interference to a variety of legitimate radio services while using, if found harmful interference, should immediately stop using, and to take measures to eliminate the interference before continuing. Prohibition of interconnection with the public telephone network, public mobile communication network and other telecommunication networks.
