I. FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements for Occupational Use Only
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General
Docket 93-62, November 7, 1997, has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated equipment. Topaz3 / Maxon 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 (OSHA) and
Federal Communications Commission limits.
CAUTION - DO NOT transmit 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.
•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 users exposure conditions for satisfying the higher exposure
limit allowed for occupational use.
•When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone
2 inches (5 cm) away from your mouth.
•This device has been approved for use, at a maximum duty factor of 50%,
using the specific belt clip and leather belt-holster tested for body-worn SAR
compliance. Other belt clips or body-worn accessories may not comply and
should be avoided.
• 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 bar
on the radio.
•These are required operating configurations for meeting FCC RF exposure
compliance. Failure to observe these restrictions mean violation.
II. Safety Information

to, or touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the face or
eyes, while transmitting.
WARNING -DO NOT allow children to operate transmitter-equipped radio
equipment.
CAUTION - DO NOT operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps
or in an explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially designed
and qualified for such use.
