Safety Training InformationYour radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”,meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by indi-viduals aware of the hazards, and ways to minimize such hazards.This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in anuncontrolled environment.This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for“Occupational Use Only”. In addition, the radio complies with the followingStandards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3KHz to 300 GHz.American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave.To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio. 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 “TX indicator” lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing “PTT” switch.ALWAYS use authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mic, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can 4HUM1200 2/11/04 8:27 PM Page 4
cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5cm (1inch) away from the body when transmitting, and only use the belt-clips when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5cm (2 inches) from mouth, slightly away from mouth, and slightly off to one side.The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possiblycause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interfer-ence, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOToperate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radia-tion, such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.5HUM1200 2/11/04 8:27 PM Page 5

Your HUM1200 radio has been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it is recommended that you do not use the unit closer than 5 feet from another unit.2. For better transmission results, keep your mouth about 2-3 inches from the microphone and speak slowly in a normal voice.32HUM1200 2/11/04 8:27 PM Page 32
3. If you wear the radio on your body, ensure that the Antenna is at least one inch (2.5cm) from your body when transmitting.4. Reverse polarity (+/-) may cause serious damage to the unit. Do not reverse the polarity (+/-) of the batteries in the battery compartment.Special Warning1. Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.2. Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extreme temperatures.3. Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits set by the FCC.4. Do not use this device or change the batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere, since sparks in such areas could result in an explosion.5. Turn your transceiver off whenever posted notices restrict the use of radios or cellular phones. Facilities such as hospitals may use equip-ment that is sensitive to RF energy.6. Remove the batteries from the transceiver if you do not expect to use the batteries for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the transceiver.33HUM1200 2/11/04 8:27 PM Page 33
