Product Safety and RF Exposure for Portable Two-Way Radios Compli-

ance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled applications

where users have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can

exercise control over their exposure. This radio device is NOT authorized for

general population, consumer or similar use.

BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THE TRAINING MATERIAL BELOW

WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE

USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION

FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICA-

BLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations

The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF)

emissions from portable two-way radios. The FCC requires manufacturers

to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits before portable two-way

radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for

occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users

to be fully aware of, and exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and

control of RF exposure can be accomplished by the use of labels, or by educa-

tion and training through appropriate means such as information and instruc-

tions in user manuals or safety booklets. Your Advanced Wireless Commu-

nications’ two-way radio has an RF exposure information label in the battery

compartment. The training material below includes useful information about

RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control your RF exposure.

Your Advanced Wireless Communications two-way radio is designed and

tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and

guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic

energy. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure

guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmit-

ting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.

Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Portable

Two-Way Radios

To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/con-

trolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following proce-

dures:

* Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-

To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting

50% of the time or less is important since the radio generates measurable

RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards

compliance).

* For body-worn operation, always place the radio in an AWC approved belt-

clip or similar accessory that contains no metallic components and provides

a minimum separation distance of 1.3 cm between the back of the radio and

the user’s body. AWC approved accessories, antennas, and device combi-

nations comply with the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure

limits. Using non-AWC approved accessories may result in exposure levels

which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure

limits. AWC-approved accessories have been tested and comply with FCC RF

exposure requirements.

* If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio held

in front of the face, ensure the radio is kept at a minimum of 1.3 cm from the

body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important

since RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from the antenna.

* Use only FCC-approved, supplied or replacement headsets, batteries, and

accessories intended for use with this radio. Use of non-FCC approved head-

sets, batteries and accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Notices to The User

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

One or more of the following statements may be applicable:

FCC WARNING

This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modi-

cations to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modica-

tions are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the

authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modication

is made.

INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses and can generate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. How-

ever, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and

on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

• Consult with the dealer for technical assistance.

SAFETY INFORMATION:

Your wireless portable two-way radio has been designed using a low power

transmitter. When the PTT switch is pressed, the radio generates radio fre-

quency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). This radio is designed to comply

with the FCC Report and Order FCC 96-326 (August, 1996).

User Safety Information

PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR

ADVANCED WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS PORTABLE TWO-WAY RA-

DIO.

◊ Only qualied technicians are allowed to maintain this product.

◊ To avoid electromagnetic interference, turn off your radio in places where

posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be

using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. When traveling on

◊ When in vehicles equipped with an air bag, do not place a portable radio in

the airbag deployment area.

◊ Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas.

◊ To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio

when you are near electrical blasting caps.

◊ Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight for long periods of time. Do not

place the radio in direct contact with any heating source.
