1.2 SAFETY INFORMATION
Your wireless handheld portable VHF transceiver contains a low power
transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Com-
munications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels
for hand-held wireless devices.
This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% (this
corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50% reception time).
WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines,
this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of at
least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a normal voice, with
the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required separation
distance.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or at-
tachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regulations.
