RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and to ensure compliance with the RF
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
G
uidelines
:
User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to
other users.
DO NOT use this device if the operational requirements described herein are
not met.
i
nstructions
:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50 % of the time.
To trans-
mit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button or, for radios equipped with
VOX, speak into the microphone. The red will illuminate when the radio is
transmitting. To receive calls, release the PTT button, or, for radios equipped
with VOX, stop talking. The red LED will extinguish when the radio stops
transmitting. Transmitting 50 % of the time, or less, is important because this
radio generates measurable RF energy exposure (in terms of measuring for
standards compliance) only when transmitting.
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recom-
mended minimum lateral distance away, as shown in Table below, from
the body of a vehicle with a properly installed antenna.
This separation
distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed
(according to installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy
the RF exposure requirements in the applicable standards listed above.
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of
0 dBd.
NOTE: Table below lists the recommended lateral distance for people in an
uncontrolled environment from the body of a vehicle with a properly installed
transmitting antenna (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane) with gain equal to
or less than the specified maximum gain.
