2 SAFETY INFORMATION
The M-803 digital mobile radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during
transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use
Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by
individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This
radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled
environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.”
In addition, the M-803 digital mobile radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with
regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to
humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect
to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz.
Use of this radio as described below will result in user exposure substantially below the FCC
recommended limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic energy.
Before operating this radio:
• Do not operate this radio if any of the RF connectors are not secure or if open connections are not
properly terminated.
• Do not operate this radio near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for Uncontrolled Exposure and
Occupational exposure. The difference is in the minimum safe distance that people must be away from
the antenna when transmitting RF energy. To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure
to RF electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines, transmit only when people are at least the
minimum distance away from a properly installed antenna. Refer to Table 2-1 for the minimal allowable
distances.
Note that the M-803 can transmit without pressing the PTT as part of the normal registration process the
radio periodically performs. The TX light behind the SELECT button on the front panel will glow red
when this or any transmission is in process.
