FCC RF Exposure Information
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 en-
ergy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international stand-
ards 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.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
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 opera-
tion, the radio should be held 1 inch from the user’s face. The use of acces-
sories 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 website at www.fcc.gov.
Lithium Ion Battery Warning
This equipment contains a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.
The rechargeable Lithium Ion battery contained in this equipment may explode
if disposed of in a re.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Do not charge the rechargeable battery used in this equipment in any charger
other than the one specied in the owner’s manual. Using another charger may
damage the battery or cause the battery to explode.
NOTE: Li-Ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Avoid exposing the battery (whether attached to the radio or not) to direct
sunlight, heated cars, or temperatures below -4°F (-20°C) or above +140°F
(+60°C). Exposing the chemical contained within the battery pack to tempera-
tures above +140°F (+60°C) may cause the battery to rupture, fail, or reduce
performance.
In case of exposure to the cell contents, wash the affected area thoroughly, and
seek medical attention.
