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 the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses 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.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 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 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 environmental 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) key. To receive calls, release the PTT key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or
less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in
terms of measuring for standards compliance).
Keep the radio unit at least 2.5 cm away from the face. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is
important as RF exposure decreases with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be kept
away from the face and eyes.
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera-approved holder, holster, case, or body
harness or by use of the correct clip for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in
exposure levels which exceed the FCC's occupational/controlled environmental RF exposure limits.
Use of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Contact your local dealer for the optional accessories of the product.
ISEDC Statement
The device has been tested and complies with SAR limits, users can obtain Canadian information on RF exposure
and compliance.
Après examen de ce matériel aux conformité aux limites DAS et/ou aux limites d’intensité de champ RF, les
utilisateurs peuvent sur l’exposition aux radiofréquences et la conformité and compliance d’acquérir les
informations correspondantes
This device complies with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement
