RF Radiation Information 
RF Radiation Profile 
Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation in the range at which 
radio signals are transmitted. RF technology is widely used in communication, medicine, 
food processing and other fields. It may generate radiation during use.   
RF Radiation Safety 
In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant industries including science, 
engineering, medicine and health work with international organizations to develop 
standards for safe exposure to RF radiation. These standards consist of:   
¾  United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 
47CFR part 2 sub-part J;   
¾  American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic 
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992;   
¾  Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1 – 1999;   
¾    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:
      Your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), 
not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
FCC Regulations 
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requires that all radio communication 
products should meet the requirements set forth in the above standards before they can 
be marketed in the U.S, and the manufacturer shall post a RF label on the product to 
inform users of operational instructions, so as to enhance their occupational health 
against exposure to RF energy.   
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:       
ƽ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the 
equipment and receiver.   
ƽ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the 
receiver is connected.     
ƽ 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 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and 
guidelines: 
噝  United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 
CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310 and 2.1093 
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic 
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992   
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 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:
噝  Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.   
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.   
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. 
Operating Instructions:   
• 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).
• 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.   
• 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. 
噝  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.  
• 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. 
•For a list of Hytera’s approved accessories (see the user manual), or (visit the following 
website which lists approved accessories: http:  add website address), or(The 
manufacturer should include the appropriate bracketed item{s} in the manual.) 
• For a list of Hytera’s approved accessories (see the user manual), or (visit the following
