12 For your safety

It is also important that you:

■

Do not remove the RF exposure label from the radio.

■

Ensure this RF exposure information accompanies the 

radio when it is transferred to other users.

■

Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the 

guidelines on controlling your exposure to RF.

Controlling your exposure to RF energy

This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves 

primarily when calls are made. RF is a form of 

electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight), and there are 

recommended levels of maximum RF exposure.

To control your exposure to RF and comply with the 

maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled 

environments, follow these guidelines:

■

Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated 

transmit duty cycle. This is important because the radio 

radiates more energy when it is transmitting than when it 

is receiving.

■

While you are transmitting (talking or sending data) on 

the radio, you must ensure that there is always a distance 

of 35 inches (0.9m) between people and the antenna. 

This is the minimum safe distance.

■

Use the radio only with Tait-approved antennas and 

attachments, and make only authorized modifications to 

the antenna otherwise you could damage the radio and 

violate FCC regulations.

For more information on what RF energy is and how to 

control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at

Compliance with RF energy exposure standards

This two-way radio complies with these RF energy exposure 

standards and guidelines:
