RF EXPOSURE SAFETY STATEMENT
SAFETY INFORMATION
Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power trans-
mitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with
safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.
This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%
(this corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50% reception time).
WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guide-
lines, this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation dis-
tance of at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a
normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at
the required separation distance.
If you use a headset accessory for this radio, with the radio worn on
your body, use only the Vertex Standard belt clip for this transceiver,
and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from
your body when transmitting.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regu-
lations.
NOTE
This radio telephone complies with the requirements of RTCM Paper
56-95/SC101 Standards for digital selective calling (DSC) for Marine
transceivers.
