Olympia P324 - Manual (Page 3)

• ALWAYS use Olympia authorized accessories (antennas,
batteries, belt clips, speaker/microphones, etc). Use of
unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be exceeded.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from
the body when transmitting and only use the Olympia belt-clips,
listed in this user manual, when attaching the radio to your belt,
etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are
not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission
the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm)
from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the
information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure,
and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC
RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Olympia radio generates RF energy that
can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid
such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted
to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 2005), IEEE
Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 2002), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
• IEEE Standard 1528-2003.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always
adhere to the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached,
as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed
FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied
with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically
authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time
can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be
exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator”
light is red. You will cause the radio to transmit by pressing the
“PTT” switch.
