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:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Hytera's portable radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
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. 1:2005; Canada RSS102 Issue 5 March 2015.
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:
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.
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.
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
