Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices. Important: To maintain compliance with the FCCs RF exposure guidelines, hold the transmitter and ANTENNA at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the ANTENNA pointed up and away from the face. Use only the supplied ANTENNA. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
