Occupational Safety Guidelines And Safety Training Information
Federal Communications Commission Regulations
Before it was marketed in the United States, the Digital portable radio was tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy
exposure limits for two-way portable radios. 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. The radio has an RF exposure product label.
Also, the Product Safety Manual and this Operator’s Manual include information and operating instructions required to control RF
exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
