All Vertex Standard two-way radios 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 exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control
your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-
way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. 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 product label directing
users to specific user awareness information. Your Vertex Standard two-way radio has a RF Exposure
Product Label. Also, your Vertex Standard manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and
operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your Vertex Standard two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy.
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/
controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is
authorized by the FCC for occupational use only.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with
these exposure guidelines,
your radio generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
