Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your CALTTA TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD. 2-way radio is designed
and t ested to comply with a number of national and
internationall standards and guidelines (listed below) for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at operating
duty factors of up to 50 % transmitting and is authorized by the
FCC for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy
for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio
radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby
mode. Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are
rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5% listen 90% standby),
even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF
exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50 %
talk.
Your CALTTA TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD. 2-way radio complies
with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and
2.1093.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95.1-1999 Edition.
Operating Instructions:
• 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).
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the
microphone (and the other parts of the radio, including the
antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping
the radio at the proper distance is important because RF
exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. Antenna
should be kept away from eyes.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a CALTTA
TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD. approved clip, holder, holster, case, or
body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn
accessories is important because the use of CALTTA
TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD. or other manufacturer’s non-approved
accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the
FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
• If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using
the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then
ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least 2.5 cm
(one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio
at the proper distance is important because RF exposures
decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.
• Use only CALTTA TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD. 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.
