RF Radiation Information This product must be restricted to operations in an occupational/controlled RF exposure environment. Users must be fully aware of the hazards of the exposure and able to exercise control over their RF exposure to qualify for the higher exposure limits. RF Radiation Profile Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation in the range at which radio signals are transmitted. RF technology is widely used in communication, medicine, food processing and other fields. It may generate radiation during use. RF Radiation Safety In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant industries including science, engineering, medicine and health work with international organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF radiation. These standards consist of:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J;
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992;
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998;
FCC Regulations Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requires that all radio communication products should meet the requirements set forth in the above standards before they can be marketed in the U.S, and the manufacturer shall post a RF label on the product to inform users of operational instructions, so as to enhance their occupational health against exposure to RF energy. EU Regulatory Conformance As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Directive 2014/53
/EU. Please note that the above information is applicable to EU countries only. FCC Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide r against harmful interference in a guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Verification of harmful interference by this cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no equipment to radio or television reception can be determined by turning it off and then 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. residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in easonable protection accordance with the instructions, it may Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit to that of the receiver's outlet. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environmental 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 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 n on-approved accessories may re sult 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.

Phenomena Analysis Solution The radio fails to power on. During receiving, the voice is weak, discontinuous or totally inactive. You cannot communicate with other members. The battery may be improperly installed. The battery power may be used up. The battery may be poorly connected due to dirtied or damaged battery contacts. The battery voltage may be low. The volume level may be low. Remove the battery and then reattach it. Recharge or replace the battery. Clean the battery contacts. If the problem cannot be solved, contact your dealer or authorized service center for inspection and repair. Recharge or replace the battery. Increase the volume by rotating the Volume Control Knob. The antenna may be loosened or improperly installed. Reattach the antenna after turning off the radio. The speaker may be blocked or damaged. The frequency or signaling may not match that of other members. The channel type (digital/analog) may be set inconsistently. You may be too far away from the group members. Clean the surface of the speaker. If the problem cannot be solved, contact your dealer or authorized service center for inspection and repair. Set your TX/RX frequency and signaling to the same as that of other members. Make sure all members are on the same digital/analog channel. Move towards other members. 12 Troubleshooting Phenomena Irrelevant communication or noise is heard on the channel. The noise is too loud. Analysis Solution You may be interrupted by radios using the same frequency. Change the frequency, or adjust the squelch level. The radio may be set with no signaling. Set signaling for all member radios to avoid interference at the same frequency. You may be too far away from other members. Move towards other members. You may locate in an unfavorable position. For example, your communication may be blocked by high buildings or frustrated in the underground areas. You may suffer from external disturbance (such as electromagnetic interference). Move to an open and flat area, and restart the radio to try again. Stay away from equipment that may cause interference. 13 Care and Cleaning To guarantee optimal performance as well as a long service life of the product, please follow the tips below.
