Tyco Electronics M7100IP 2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION

2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION

Before using your mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and control

information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure

guidelines.

This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have

full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet

FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or

any other use.

CAUTION

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by M/A-COM, Inc. could void the

user's authority to operate the equipment.

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide

communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and

receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to,

electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of

electromagnetic energy, which, when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-

rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop

standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for

both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins

of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured, and tested to

ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend

specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they

inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to

the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your

exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits.

Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with the

FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile two-way radios before it can be marketed in the United

States. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to

be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure

awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specific user awareness

information. Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP two-way radio has an RF exposure product label.

Also, your M7100IP Installation and Operator’s Manuals include information and operating

instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
