This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must except any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your HYT 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,
Warning
and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is
not intended for use by the “General Population” in an
uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your HYT 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 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 Potential y 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
CAUTION 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 the “PTT” switch.
• ALWAYS use HYT authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics,
etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded. Body-worn operations are restricted to belt-clips, holsters
or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly and that provide
at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its antenna, and the user's body.
To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at
least 5 cm (2 inches) 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 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.
