In addition, it complies with the following Standards and Guidelines: FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation.
FCC ID: K6610333021/IC ID: 511B-10333021 WARNING! FCC RF EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-toTalk configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of the radio is illuminated.

FCC ID: K6610333021/IC ID: 511B-10333021 BEFORE YOU BEGIN Battery Pack Installation and Removal To install the battery, hold the transceiver with your left hand, so your palm is over the speaker and your thumb is on the top of the belt clip. Carefully mate the battery’s four insertion slots with their corresponding alignment tabs on the transceiver case, while tilting the Belt Clip outward. Proper alignment occurs with the battery pack offset about 1/2 inch from the top edge of the battery compartment.
FCC ID: K6610333021/IC ID: 511B-10333021 OPERATION Preliminary Steps Install a charged battery pack onto the transceiver, as described previously. Screw the supplied antenna onto the Antenna jack. Never attempt to operate this transceiver without an antenna connected. If you have a Speaker/Microphone, we recommend that it not be connected until you are familiar with the basic operation of the VX-920. 6 Operation Quick Start Turn the top panel’s VOL/PWR knob clockwise to turn on the radio on.
FCC ID: K6610333021/IC ID: 511B-10333021 OPERATION Rotate the VOL/PWR knob to set the volume level. If no signal is present, press and hold in the MONITOR button (under the PTT switch) more than 2 seconds; background noise will now be heard, and you may use this to set the VOL/PWR knob for the desired audio level. Press and hold the MONITOR button more than 2 seconds (or press the MONITOR button twice) to quiet the noise and resume normal (quiet) monitoring.
FCC ID: K6610333021/IC ID: 511B-10333021 OPERATION If a Speaker/Microphone is available, remove the plastic cap and its two mounting screws from the right side of the transceiver, then align the connector of the Speaker/Microphone on the transceiver body; secure the connector pin using the screws supplied with the Speaker/Microphone. Hold the speaker grille up next to your ear while receiving.
