Before using your radio, please read these
important safety guidelines.
Radio frequency exposure information
For your own safety and to ensure you comply
with the Federal Communication Commission’s
(FCC) radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines,
please read the following information before
using this radio.
Using this radio
You should use this radio only for work-related
purposes (it is not authorized for any other use)
and if you are fully aware of, and can exercise
control over, your exposure to RF energy. To
prevent exceeding FCC RF exposure limits, you
must control the amount and duration of RF that
you and other people are exposed to.
It is also important that you:
■Do not remove the RF Exposure label from
the radio.
■Ensure this RF exposure information accom-
panies the radio when it is transferred to
other users.
■Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to
the guidelines on controlling your exposure
to RF.

Controlling your exposure to RF
energy
This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or
radio waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a
form of electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight),
and there are recommended levels of maximum
RF exposure.
To control your exposure to RF and comply with
the maximum exposure limits for
occupational/controlled environments, follow
these guidelines:
■Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than
the rated transmit duty cycle. This is impor-
tant because the radio radiates more energy
when it is transmitting than when it is receiv-
ing.
■When listening and talking on the radio, hold
it upright in front of your face so that it is at
least one inch (2.5 cm) away from any part of
your face. Keeping the radio at the recom-
mended distance is important because expo-
sure to RF decreases rapidly the further away
the antenna is from your body.
■Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm)
from your face at all times.
■If you wear your radio, you must always put it
in a carrying accessory that has been specifi-
cally approved by Tait for this radio. Using
non-approved body-worn accessories may

English
mean you expose yourself to higher levels of
RF than recommended by the FCC’s occupa-
tional/controlled environment RF exposure
limits.
■Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas,
batteries, and accessories.
For more information on what RF energy is and
how to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC
website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-
faqs.html.
Compliance with RF energy
exposure standards
This two-way radio complies with these RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
■United States Federal Communications Com-
mission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR
§§ 1.1307, 1.1310, and 2.1093.
■American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
/ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engi-
neers (IEEE) C95.1-1992
■Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.

English
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and
ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure
environments at operating duty factors of up to
50% transmitting (even though the approved
batteries for this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty
factor (5% talk-5% listen-90% standby)).
Radio frequency emissions limits in the
USA
Part 15 of the FCC Rules imposes RF emission
limits on electronic equipment to prevent
interference to reception of broadcast services.
This radio complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this
device does not cause harmful interference.
Unapproved modifications or changes
to radio
The radio is designed to satisfy the applicable
compliance regulations. Do not make
modifications or changes to the radio that are not
expressly approved by Tait Electronics Ltd. Failure
to do so could invalidate compliance
requirements and void the user’s authority to
operate the radio.

English
Interference to radio communications
This radio complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules
which specifies the limits for a Class B digital
device.
This radio generates, uses, and can radiate RF
energy. This energy may cause harmful
interference to radio communications if the radio
is not installed and used according to the
instructions in the user guide. If this radio does
cause harmful interference, you should contact
your radio provider for assistance.
Frequency band reserved for distress
beacons
Frequency band 406 to 406.1 MHz is reserved for
use by distress beacons. Transmissions should not
be made within this frequency band.
Safe radio operation
Switch off the radio:
■at petrol filling stations or near flammable
liquids or gases
■in the vicinity of explosive devices and
blasting zones
■before boarding an aircraft. Using your
radio while in the air is not permitted.

English
Using a handheld microphone or a radio while
driving a vehicle may violate the laws and
legislation that apply in your country or state.
Please check the vehicle regulations in your area.
Interference with electronic devices
Some electronic devices may be prone to
malfunction due to the lack of protection from RF
energy that is present when your radio is
transmitting.
Examples of electronic devices that may be
affected by RF energy are:
■vehicular electronic systems such as fuel
injection, anti-skid brakes, and cruise control
■medical devices such as hearing aids and
pacemakers
■medical equipment in hospitals or health care
facilities.
Consult the manufacturer (or its representative)
of the equipment to determine whether these
electronic circuits will perform normally when the
radio is transmitting.
