COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS

CALTTA two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic energy.
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is authorized by the IEE/ICNIRP for occupational use only.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.

Control 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:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To receive calls, release 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).
Hold the radio in vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the nose or lips. Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease as the distance from antenna increases. When orn on the body, alays place the radio in approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
Use only manufacturer’s name-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines. For a list approved accessories please consult your local dealer for information.
