RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and Operational
Instructions for FCC Occupational Use Requirements.
NOTICE: 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.
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 radio frequency (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, 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 tis-
sues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organi-
zations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards pro-
vide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public.
These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection.
All Vertex Standard two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to en-
sure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufac-
turers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy expo-
sure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following Web sites for more information on what RF energy
exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with estab-
lished RF exposure limits.
