RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR PORTABLE TWO-
WAY RADIOS
Before using this radio, read this guide which contains important operating
instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for compliance
with applicable standards and regulations.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. RF energy, which when used
improperly, can cause biological damage.
All two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-
established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating
instructions to users of two-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide
simple procedureson how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how
to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:

Local Government Regulations
When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the Local Government Regulations
requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational
requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users
to specific user awareness information. Your two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also,
your user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required
to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Radio License
Governments keep the radios in classification, business two-way radios operate on radio frequencies
that are regulated by the local radio management departments (FCC, ISED, OFCOM, ANFR, BFTK,
Bundesnetzagentur...).
