RF Radiation Information 
This product must be restricted to operations in an occupational/controlled RF exposure environments. 
Users must be fully aware of the hazards of the exposure and able to exercise control over their RF 
exposure to qualify for the higher exposure limits. 
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: 
z  United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 
sub-part J; 
z  American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 
C95. 1-1992; 
z  Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1 – 1999; 
z International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998; 
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. 
EU Regulatory Conformance 
As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and 
other relevant provisions of the Directive 1999/5/EC. Please note that the above information is 
applicable to EU countries only. 
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:       
●  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 
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.” 
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. 
•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 
website which lists approved accessories: www.hytera.cn

12. Appendix 
12.1 SSI & TSI Dialing Rules 
In the TETRA system, subscribers are distinguished by different identities. Each subscriber is assigned 
with a unique short subscriber identity (SSI), which serves a part of the TETRA subscriber identity (TSI). 
And TSI is generally composed in this way: Mobile Country Code (MCC) + Mobile Network Code (MNC) 
+ SSI. To initiate an individual call, please dial the SSI or TSI in compliance with the rules below. 
z  SSI Dialing: Make sure there are not more than 8 digits. 
z TSI Dialing 
¾ MNC+SSI:    1) Input the MNC as it is; 2) SSI must be 8 digits long. Add 0 before the first digit of 
SSI which is shorter than 8 digits. For example, when MNC is 20 and SSI is 504, you need to 
input 2000000504.   
¾ MCC+MNC+SSI: 1) MCC must contain 3 digits. Add 0 before the first digit of MCC which is 
shorter than 3 digits; 2) MNC must contain 4 or 5 digits. When the MNC is shorter than 4 digits, 
add 0 before its first digit; when it is 5 digits long, use it directly; 3) SSI must be 8 digits long. Add 0 
before the first digit of SSI which is shorter than 8 digits. For example, when MCC is 460, MNC is 
20 and SSI is 504, you need to input 460002000000504.
