To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
•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. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” light is red. You will cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.
•ALWAYS use Olympia authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/microphones, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
•ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Olympia
The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Olympia radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems.To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
