18 For your safety
The radio must be installed using an externally mounted
antenna with a gain of either 2.15 dBi or 5.15 dBi.
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 dis-
tance of 35 inches (0.9 m) 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.
■
When listening and talking on the radio, hold it upright
in front of your face so that it is at least one inch
(2.5 cm) away from any part of your face. Keeping the
radio at the recommended distance is important
because exposure to RF decreases rapidly the further
away the antenna is from your body.
■
Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your
face at all times.
■
If you wear your radio, you must always put it in a car-
rying accessory that has been specifically approved
by Tait for this radio. Using non-approved body-worn
accessories may mean you expose yourself to higher
levels of RF than recommended by the FCC’s occu-
pational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
■
Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, batter-
ies, and accessories.
