SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
WARNING
This radio produces RF electromagnetic energy when
transmitting and is designed and classified for “Occupa-
tional Use Only”. Radio equipment with this classifica-
tion must be used only during the course of employment
by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to mini-
mize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by
the General Population in an uncontrolled environment.

CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupa-
tional use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

tional use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
•
DO NOT operate the radio without the proper antenna
attached. This may damage the radio and cause FCC
RF exposure limits to be exceeded. The proper antenna
is the antenna supplied with the radio by the manufac-
turer or an antenna specifically authorized by the
manufacturer for use with this radio.

RF exposure limits to be exceeded. The proper antenna
is the antenna supplied with the radio by the manufac-
turer or an antenna specifically authorized by the
manufacturer for use with this radio.
•
DO NOT transmit more than 50% of total radio use
time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting for more than
50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compli-
ance requirements to be exceeded. This radio is trans-
mitting whenever the indicator on the front panel is red
continuously. Pressing the PTT switch on the side
usually causes the radio to transmit.

DO NOT use any accessories not specifically autho-
rized by the E.F. Johnson Company for use with this
radio such as batteries, speaker-microphones, belt
clips, and antennas. The use of unauthorized accesso-
ries can cause FCC RF exposure compliance require-
ments to be exceeded.

•
ALWAYS keep the antenna and radio at least 2.54 cm
(1.0 inch) away from your body when transmitting to
ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are
not exceeded. The best transmission quality results
when the antenna is at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from
your mouth and angled slightly to one side.

not intended for use in applications where transmis-
sions are required while the unit is body worn with the
use of the belt clip.

DO NOT operate it in areas that are sensitive to RF
energy such as aircraft, hospitals, blasting sites, and fuel
storage sites. Areas with potentially flammable atmo-
spheres are usually, but not always, clearly posted. These
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical storage and
transfer stations, below deck on boats, and areas where
the air contains flammable chemicals or particles such as
grain dust or metal powders.

Dispose of the nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) or
nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery used by this radio in
accordance with local regulations. DO NOT dispose of it
in fire because it can explode. Also, do not short the
terminals because it may become very hot.
