FCC REGULATIONS
LICENSING The FCC requires the owners of J Series radios to obtain a
station license before using them.
The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency
and deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. The station
licensee is also responsible for proper operation and maintenance of the radio
equipment. This includes checking the transmitter frequency and deviation
periodically, using appropriate methods.
To get a FCC license for VHF or UHF frequencies, submit FCC application Form
600 as indicated in the block at right. Your Ritron dealer can help you with this
process.
SAFETY STANDARDS The FCC has adopted a safety standard for RF energy
exposure awareness and control information, and operational instructions for FCC
occupational use requirements. Refer to page 20 for complete details.
Service - Federal law prohibits you from making any internal adjustments to the
transmitter, and/ or from changing transmit frequencies unless you are
specifically designated by the licensee.
If your radio equipment fails to operate properly, or you wish to have the radio
programmed, contact your authorized dealer or Ritron.

RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC
OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE 2-WAY RADIO, READ THIS
IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCCS RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled
conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure
and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits.
This radio device is NOT authorized for general population,
consumer, or any other use.
This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency
(RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more
users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of
electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited
to, electric power, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should
not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy,
which when used improperly can cause biological damage.
Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and
genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry
work with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF
energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF
exposure for both workers and the general public. These
recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of
protection. All 2-way radios marketed in North America are
designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet
government established RF exposure levels. In addition,
manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to
users of 2-way radios. These instructions are important because
they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple
procedures on how to control it. Please refer to the following
websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and
how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established
RF exposure limits.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION REGULATIONS
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF
energy exposure limits for portable 2-way radios before they can
be marketed in the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as a
consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully
aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational
requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use
of a product label directing users to specific user awareness
information. Your Ritron J Series 2-way radio has an RF exposure
product label. Also, this user manual includes information and
operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to
satisfy compliance requirements. (See following page)
COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
Your Ritron J Series 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply
with a number of national and international standards and
guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and
ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure
environment at operating duty factors of up to 50% transmitting
and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In terms
of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure
guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while
it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening)
or in standby mode.
NOTE: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated
for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5% listen - 90% standby), even
though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure
limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.
20
Have questions? Call 800-USA-1-USA (800-872-1872) or visit our website at www.ritron.com
Your Ritron J Series 2-way radio complies with the following RF
energy exposure standards and guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code
of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091
and 2.1093
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.11999 Edition
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.
This user manual 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 Ritron
approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this
product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important
because the use of Ritron or other manufacturers nonapproved accessories may result in exposure levels, which
exceed the FCCs 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 Ritron approved supplied or replacement antennas,
batteries, and accessories. Use of non- Ritron approved
antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
For a list of Ritron approved accessories (see this user
manual), or (visit the following website which lists approved
accessories: http://www.ritron.com, or (contact the radio
manufacturer at 800-872-1872.)

For additional information on exposure requirements or other
information, contact Ritron at 800-872-1872.
