![If your radio equipment fails to operate properly, or you wish to have the radio programmed, contact your authourized dealer or Ritron.RITRON, INC., Repair Department P.O. Box 1998Carmel, IN 46082-1998 USAPhone: 317-846-1201Fax: 317-846-49789. 10.SAFETY STANDARDSThe FCC (with its action in General Docket 79-144, (March 13, 1985) has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Ritron observes these guidelines and recommends that you do also:• DO NOT hold the radio so that the antenna is very close to or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while trans- mitting. Keep the radio vertical, four inches away while talking into the front panel. • DO NOT press the Push-To-Talk except when you intend to transmit.• DO NOT operate radio equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.• DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment that contains a transmitting device.• Repair of Ritron products should be performed only by Ritron authorized personnel.SERVICEFederal law prohibits you from making any internal adjustments to the transmitter and/or from changing transmit frequencies unless you are specically designated by the licensee. PF Menu Assignable AccessibleCaller/Group ID Each transmission (16 possible codes) is uniquely identied. Receiving radios show name of caller/group on LCD display. No NoSelcall (Selective Calling) 2-Way Paging Selcall is a voice call to a specic radio or group of radios. The caller selects the radio or group of radios from a pre-programmed “contact list.” No YesStatus Messaging Send and receive pre-programmed alpha/numeric status messages. No Yes[Ack]nowledge Sending radio receives an [Ack]nowledge message conrming that the Selcall or Status Message has been received. No NoRF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATIONRF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTSBEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE 2-WAY RADIO, READ THIS IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC’S 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 recom-mended 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 specic 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.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.htmlFEDERAL 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 specic user awareness information. Your Ritron PT 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.COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS -Your Ritron 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 transmit-ting (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.Have questions? Call 800-USA-I-USA (800-872-1872) or visit our website at www.ritron.com Your Ritron 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR JJ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and 2.1093 • American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.3-2003• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.3 2003EditionRF 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 followingprocedures.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 other manufacturers’ 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 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 http://www.ritron.com http://www.ritron.com, or call Ritron at 800-872-1872.CONTACT INFORMATIONFor additional information on exposure requirements or other information, contact Ritron at 800-872-1872.Have questions?
