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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. Verification of harmful interference by this equipment to radio or television
reception can be determined by turning it off and then 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 different circuit to that of the receiver's outlet.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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.
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; 47CFR § 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. The exposure levels should not
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.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an controlled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 0cm between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
EU Regulatory Conformance
As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and
other relevant provisions of 2014/53/EU, 2012/19/EU, 2011/65/EU, and 2006/66/EC.
Please note that the above information is applicable to EU countries only.
IC Statement
The device has been tested and complies with SAR limits; users can obtain Canadian information on RF
exposure and compliance.
Après examen de cematériel 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 Compliance
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 auxCNR d'Industrie 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
