The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in general
Docket 9362, November 7, 1997, has adopted a safety standard for
human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic e energy
emitted by FCC regulated equipment. TAD Radio of Canada subscribes
to the same safety standard for the use of its products. Proper operation
of this radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OHSA) and Federal Communications
Commission limits.
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain
of 3 Bd. The radio must be used in vehicle-mount configurations with
a maximum operation duty factor not exceeding 50%, in typical push-to-talk
configurations. This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population
in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational
use, work related operations only where radio operator must have the
knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers and
bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 1.37
meters (4.5 feet) between any persons on the antenna. Failure to
abserve these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure
limits.
CAUTION DO NOT transmit for mote 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 "red" LED on the front of the radio is
illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the P-T-T
button on the radio's microphone.
CAUTION DO NOT operate the transmitter of the M11 when some-
one (bystanders) outside the vehicle is within 1.37 meters (4.5 feet) of
the antenna.
NNOOTTEE: This radio operates in FCC regulated frequency bands. All radios
must be licensed by the FCC before use. Because this radio contains
a transmitter, Federal law prohibits unauthorized use or adjustments
of this radio.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
