FCC Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cau undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-
Talk (PTT) key. To receive calls, release the PTT key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is
important because the radio generates measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in terms of
measuring for standards compliance).
Keep the radio unit at least 2.5 cm away from the face. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is
important as RF exposure decreases with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be kept away
from the face and eyes.
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera-approved holder, holster, case, or body
harness or by use of the correct clip for this product. Use of
non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed the FCC's occupational/controlled
environmental RF exposure limits.
Use of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Contact your local dealer for the optional accessories of the product.

ISEDC Statement
The device has been tested and complies with SAR limits, users can obtain Canadian information on
RF exposure and compliance
Après examen de ce matériel aux conformité aux limites DAS, et/ou aux limites d’intensité de champ
RF, les utilisateurs peuvent sur l’exposition aux radiofréquences et la conformité and compliance
d’acquérir les informations correspondantes.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC/ISEDC with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value.
Before a new model device is a available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC/
ISEDC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC/ISEDC, Tests for each device are
performed in positions and locations (worn on the body)as required by the FCC/ISEDC.
For face-up, 25mm was used for test, this equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance
25mm.
For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC/ISEDC RF exposure guidelines
when used with an accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that Contains no
metal.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of RF exposure guidelines.
Les essais SAR sont effectués à l’aide de positions d’exploitation normalisées acceptées par la FCC/ISEDC
avec l’appareil transmettant à son niveau de puissance certifié le plus élevé dans toutes les bandes de fréquences
testées, bien que le SAR soit déterminé au niveau de puissance certifié le plus élevé, le niveau réel de R-S de
l’appareil pendant son fonctionnement peut être bien inférieur à la valeur maximale.
Avant qu’un nouveau dispositif de modèle ne soit disponible à la vente au public, il doit être testé et certifié à la
FCC/ISEDC qu’il ne dépasse pas la limite d’exposition établie par la FCC/ISEDC, les tests pour chaque
appareil sont effectués dans des positions et des emplacements (portés sur le corps) comme l’exige la FCC/
ISEDC. Pour le face-vers le haut, 25mm a été utilisé pour l’essai, cet équipement doit être installé et actionné
avec une distance minimale de 25mm.
Pour le fonctionnement du corps usé, ce téléphone modèle a été testé et répond aux directives d’exposition RF
FCC/ISEDC lorsqu’il est utilisé avec un accessoire désigné pour ce produit ou lorsqu’il est utilisé avec un
accessoire qui ne contient pas de métal.
Le non-respect des restrictions ci-dessus peut entraîner une violation des lignes directrices sur l’exposition aux
RF.
