This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer or similar use.
with RF exposure limits before portable two-way radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished by the use of labels, or by education and training through appropriate means such as information and instructions in user manuals or safety booklets.
Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Portable Two-Way Radios To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures: *Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the PushTo-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
