PRODUCT SAFETY BOOKLET
Before operating the HDP150 portable radio, read the safety and RF exposure guidelines
contained in Product Safety Booklet included with the radio.
RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
The HDP150 portable 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 individuals aware of the hazards and the
ways to minimize
such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General
Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
The HDP150 radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF
exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this radio complies with the following Standards and
Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for
exposure to humans:
• FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (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, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement
of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
WARNING
WARNING
REGULATORY INFORMATION
Publication 14222-1150-2000, Rev. A 3
To ensure 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 the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio
by Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. These antennas are listed
on page 67.
• 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 LED indicator on the top of the radio lights red in color. The radio transmits when its
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) key is pressed.
• Always transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can
reduce RF exposure. Refer to page 36 for additional information.
• ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of
unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance
requirements to be exceeded.
• ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from the body and face when
transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the best
sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends holding the front of the radio
between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters) from your mouth when transmitting into the radio’s
microphone.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
During transmissions, this radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or
systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT
