Information on Safe Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Oricom Radio.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and
ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure
limits, always adhere to the following procedure:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
• To receive calls, release the PTT button.
• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
standards compliance).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Oricom two-way radio complies with Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard, 2003.
To assure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set out in the above standards
always adhere to the following procedures.
Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and
violate compliance.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna affects the
effective range.
Do not use the radio if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna makes contact
with your skin, a minor burn can result.
If you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always fit the radio on the belt clip
(supplied). Always ensure the radio and it's antenna are at least 2.5 cm from your body
when transmitting.
