RF Exposure Safety Statement

This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF exposure limits for Occupational Use/Controlled expo- sure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Standards and Guide- lines:

FCC@96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio- Frequency Radiation.

FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (1997) Supplement C, Evaluating Compli- ance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electro- magnetic Fields.

ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz.

ANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave.

WARNING

This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as Occupational Use Only, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is not in- tended for use by the General Population in an uncontrolled environment.

CAUTION

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

SAFETY INFORMATION

This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncon- trolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work re- lated operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control its RF exposure conditions.

When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from your head and body.

The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceed- ing 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk (Manual PTT or VOX) configurations.

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 expo- sure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the front panel of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT button or by speaking into the microphone if using the optional VC-24 VOX accessory.

Only use the Standard Horizon accessories designed for this product de- tailed on Page 6.
