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. Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled environment RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should transmit not more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following procedures:
RF energy will be generated only when the radio is transmitting. If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least 2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna. 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 reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Group Call A half-duplex call initiated by an individual user to a group. Owners Manual Document Conventions Term Half-duplex Description Half-duplex communication is also called two-way alternate communication. It indicates the communication is provided in both directions, but only one direction at a time, that is, only one party is allowed to transmit or receive at a time. Full-duplex Full-duplex communication is also called full-duplex synchronous communication. It indicates the communication is allowed in both directions simultaneously, that is, both parties can transmit and receive at the same time. Direct Mode Operation
(DMO) DMO supports half-duplex operation and allows the terminals to communicate directly with each other, without using a TETRA network infrastructure. Thus functions that require network access, such as telephone call, will be unavailable. Trunked Mode Operation
(TMO) TMO supports either half-duplex or full-duplex operation and allows the terminals to communicate with each other via the TETRA network. Thus functions that require network access are available. To operate in TMO mode, the terminal must be granted authorization by your service provider, and must stay within the network coverage. Items in the Package 2.
