RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION 

1.1 

RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS, 
CONTROL INFORMATION, AND OPERATION 
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL 
USE REQUIREMENTS 

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. 

NOTE

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
