A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or     antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.      DO NOT transmits for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time     can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator”     lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.      ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the HYT belt-clip     which is listed in instructions when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance     requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna     at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
