Compliance with RF Exposure Standards Hytera's radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: z United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR § 1.1307, 1.1310 and 2.1093 z American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1:2005; Canada RSS102 Issue 5 March 2015 z 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 environmental exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures. Guidelines: z Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device. z User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users. z Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. Operating Instructions:
z 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). z 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. z 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 RF exposure limits. z Use of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines. z Contact your local dealer for the optional accessories of the product.
