This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and should be used 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 cycle (5% talk-5% listen-90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk. Your HYT two-way radio complies with the following of RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: z United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J z American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992 z Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition z International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998 Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled environment RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following procedures: Transmit and Receive To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to receive, release the PTT button. Hand-held radio operation Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
