To ensure that your expose 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 damaged 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
antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmits 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 the “PTT” switch.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the HYT belt-clip
which is listed in instructions 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 5 cm (2 inches) from your 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 as-sure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your HYT 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 operate the
transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as consequence of their employment provided

time (when the called party receiving), and displays group number and time upon no transmission.
The talk group can be categorized into hidden group, join group, simulcast group, ack group, temporary group, data group
and encryption group.
Hidden Group: This group can only receive calls, but can not transmit calls. Hidden group can be called with the Group Call
Selector at any position, but not displayed in the group call list.
26
Join Group: This group can not only receive calls, but also transmit calls. When called, the radio can only acknowledge in
individual call and in current group.
Simulcast Group: It is same with join group, but PFIX is not compared.
Ack Group: The group can both receive and transmit calls with the Group Call Selector at any position.
Temporary Group: It is grouped with dynamic regrouping command. Its functions are same with those of ack group.
Data Group: The group can only respond to the data group call from the radio, and other radios won’t respond to the call
even if they join this group. This group is mainly used for data transmission.
Encryption Group: When this group talks, members in this group enters encryption mode automatically. After disconnect,
they return to non-encryption or encryption mode, which is set during standby. Other functions are same with those of ack
group.
Receive Broadcast Message
The radio can receive broadcast messages sent by the system on the control channel, to accomplish the following functions:
add control channel frequency, delete control channel frequency, specify call maintenance parameters, specify registration
parameters, etc. Please refer to the MPT1327 signaling standard for details.
Note 1: Encryption is enabled in encryption mode and encryption is not enabled in non-encryption mode.
Note: 2: In group call mode, the radio only responds to current group, hidden group, fleet-wide all call, ack group,
encryption group, temporary group, system-wide all call and individual group, but not responds to calls of other join
groups.
Note 3: PFIX can be set whether to be compared via the programming software for the above groups except simulcast
group.
