Transmit and Rsceive Procedure
Your
tlvo-way
radio
contains
a transmitter and a receivel To control
your
exposure
and
ensure compliance
with the
general population/
uncontrolled envir0nment exposure limits, always adhere t0 the
following
procedure:
.
Transmit
no
more
than
50% of the time.
.
To receive calls, release the PTT button.
.
To
transmit
{talk},
press
the Push to
Talk
{PTT)
button.
Transmitting
500/0
of
the time,
or less, is
important because the radio
generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting
(in
terns
of measurinq standards compliance).

Pacenakers
The Advanced
Medical Technology
Association rec0mmends
that a
minimum
separati0n of 6 inches
(15
cm) be maintained between a
handheld wireless radio and
a
pacemaker.
These recommendations
are consist€nt
with
the
independent research by and
recommendations of
the
U.S.
Fo0d and Drug Administratioo.
Peoole
with
oacemakers
should:
.
ALWAYS
keep the radio more than 6 inches
{'15
cm) from their
pacemaker
when the radio is turned 0N,
.
Not
carry the radio in the breast
pocket.
.
Use the
ear
opposite the
pacemaker
to
minimize the
potential
for interference,
.
Turn
the radio 0FF immediately if
there
is
any reason to suspect
that
int€rferenc€ is taking
place.

Salety
and
General
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations regarding the
use of radios in
the
area where

.
Use
hands-lree operalion,
if
available,
.
Pull
off the road
and
park
before making
or answering
a call if
driving
conditions so require.
The use
of a two-way
radio while engaged
in activities requiring
c0ncentration
may cause distraction
0r otherwise
impair
y0ur
abilitv
to safely
participate
in such activities.
Always use
technology
safely.
Do not
plac€
a
portable
radio in the
area over an air
bag or in the
air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate
with
great
force.
lf a
portable
radio is
placed
in the air bag
deployment area and
the air
bag inflates,
the radio may
be
propelled
with
great
force and cause
serious injury to occupants 0f
