safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies: American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
IEEE. C95.1-1992; National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86; International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996. Those
standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 130
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your
radio complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
For body-worn operation, this radio demonstrates compliance and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with approved
accessories supplied with or designed for this product. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
Antenna Care
—Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio
and may violate FCC regulations. Do not use any radio that has a
damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin,
a minor burn can result.
Electronic Devices
—Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio.
Pacemakers
—The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6”) be
maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by
and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons
with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six
inches from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should
not carry the radio in a breast pocket, should use the ear opposite
the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference, and
should turn the radio off immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
—Some digital wireless radios may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want
to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
—If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may
be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
