FCC Statement 
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant 
to part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference 
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can 
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct. 
The interference by one or more of the following measures: 
l Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the 
equipment and receiver. 
l Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver 
is connected. 
l Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, 
and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause 
undesired operation. 
Note: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards 
Hytera's portable radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: 
l United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR 
§ 1.1307, 1.1310 and 2.1093 
l American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic 
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1:2005; Canada RSS102 Issue 5 March 2015. 
l Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1:2005 Edition 
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and 
Operating Instructions 
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment 
exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures. 
Guidelines: 
l Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device. 
l User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users. 
l Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. 
Operating Instructions: 
l Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the 
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of 
the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy 
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). 
l Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other parts 
of the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping 
the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with distance 
from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes. 
l When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera's approved clip, holder, holster, 
case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important 
because the use of Hytera's or other manufacturer's non-approved accessories may result 
in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC's occupational/controlled environment RF 
exposure limits. 
l If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use 
position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least 2.5 cm 
(one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is 
important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna. 
l Use only manufacturer's name approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and 
accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and 
accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines. 
l Contact your local dealer for the optional accessories of the product. 
The device has been tested and compliance with SAR limits, users can obtain Canadian information on 
RF exposure and compliance

communicate with 
other group 
members. 
The frequency or signaling may 
be inconsistent with that of 
other members. 
Set your TX/RX frequency and signaling to the 
same as those of other members. 
The channel type (digital or 
analog) may be set 
inconsistently. 
Make sure all members are on the same 
digital or analog channel. 
You may be too far away from 
other members. 
Move towards other members. 
Irrelevant voices or 
noise is heard on 
the channel.

Phenomena  Analysis  Solution 
The noise is too 
loud. 
You may be too far away from 
other members. 
Move towards other members. 
You may locate in an 
unfavorable position. For 
example, your communication
