FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS 
FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE ONLY 
 
When operating your portable marine VHF radio transceiver, you should 
know that the antenna radiates radio frequency energy.  This radio was 
designed to meet the FCC’s rules and regulations for the maximum 
permissible exposure to radio frequency energy.  This design was tested 
and found to be compliant to the strict requirements established by the 
FCC.  
 
This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an 
uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, 
work related operations only where the radio operator must have the 
knowledge to control his or her exposure conditions for satisfying the 
higher exposure limit allowed for Occupational Users. 
 
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 
to use with this radio. 
 
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of the total radio use time. 
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” is displayed on the screen. You can cause the radio 
to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch. 
 
This radio is approved for use with the specific belt-clip tested for 
body-worn SAR compliance. Other belt clips or body-worn accessories may 
not comply and should be avoided.

• 
Never allow children to operate the radio without adult 
supervision and the knowledge of the following safety guidelines. 
 
• 
Hold the radio transceiver to your face, but always maintain at
