ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTYREGULATORY INFORMATION
WARNING! Read this information before using
the radio. In August 1996 the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States with its action in Report and Order FCC
96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies.The design of the
radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Never allow children to operate the radio without
adult supervision and the knowledge of the
following guidelines.
WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate
this radio transmitter to insure safe operation.
Please adhere to the following:
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the
radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your
local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations using the supplied belt-clip.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, Body-worn operations are restricted
to the supplied belt-clip.
For hand-held operation, the radio should be held
1 inch from the user's face.The use of accessories
that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and
should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please
visit the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov.
