FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Verification of harmful interference by
this equipment to radio or television reception can be determined by turning it off and then on. The user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit to that of the receiver's outlet.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR § 1.1307, 1.1310
and 2.1093
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.
1:2005; Canada RSS102 Issue 5 March 2015
Guidelines:
User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk
(PTT) key. To receive calls, release the PTT key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because
the radio generates measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards
compliance).
Keep the radio unit at least 2.5 cm away from the face. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important
as RF exposure decreases with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be kept away from the face
and eyes.
When worn on the body, always place the radio in an approved holder, holster, case, or body harness or by
use of the correct clip for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which
exceed the FCC's occupational/controlled environmental RF exposure limits.
Use of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
ISEDC Statement
The device has been tested and complies with SAR limits, users can obtain Canadian information on RF exposure
and compliance.
Après examen de ce matériel aux conformité aux limites DAS et/ou aux limites d’intensité de champ RF, les
utilisateurs peuvent sur l’exposition aux radiofréquences et la conformité and compliance d’acquérir les
informations correspondantes.
This device complies with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Compliance license-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible
d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
EU Regulatory Conformance
As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and other
relevant provisions of 2014/53/EU.
