transmitting.
RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION _____
This KENWOOD transceiver has been tested and complies with the standards listed below, in regards to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy and electromagnetic energy (EME) generated by the transceiver.
FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only. RF Exposure limits adopted by the FCC are generally
based on recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, & the
American National Standards Institute.
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992)
American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992)
WARNING
This KENWOOD transceiver generates RF EME while transmitting. RF EME (Radio Frequency Electric &
Magnetic Energy) has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your body less than the
recommended distance from this radio transmitter’s antenna. RF energy exposure is determined primarily by the
distance to and the power of the transmitting device. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the lowest possible
power is used or transmission time is kept to the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatest
distance possible from the antenna to the body is maintain. The transceiver has been designed for and is classified
for Occupational Use Only. Occupational/ controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons
are exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment, and such persons have been made aware of the
potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This means you can use the transceiver only if
you are aware of the hazards of operating a transceiver and are familiar in ways to minimize these hazards. This
transceiver is not intended for use by the general public in uncontrolled environments. Uncontrolled environment
exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed to RF energy, or in which
the persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be fully aware of the potential for
exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure.
The following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RF exposure and of
how to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are not exceeded.
While transmitting (holding the PTT switch), always keep the antenna at least 3 cm (1 3/16 inches) from
your body or face, as well as from any bystanders.
Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the total use
time may exceed the limits in accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements. Nominal transceiver
operation is 5% transmission time, 5% reception time, and 90% stand-by time.
Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either the antenna provided with the
transceiver or another antenna authorized by KENWOOD.
Use only KENWOOD authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips, Speaker/ Mics or headsets etc.):
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a KENWOOD recommended clip or carrying case meant for this
product. The use of other than recommended or approved body- worn accessories may result in RF exposure levels
which exceed the FCC’s occupational/ controlled environment RF exposure limits.
CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for occupational use, you must observe and
adhere to the above points.
Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility
Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if they are not adequately shielded or
designed for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy, it can cause interference
to such equipment.
Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities use
equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.
Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed. Use of the transceiver must be in
accordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions.
