Product Safety and RF Exposure for Portable Two-Way Radios Compliance 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
APPLICABLE 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 education and training through appropriate means
such as information and instructions in user manuals or safety booklets. Your Advanced Wireless
Communications’ 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 transmitting (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 procedures:
*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 combinations 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
5
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 headsets, batteries and accessories may exceed
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
