RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATIONThis KENWOOD transceiver has been evaluated and complies with the standards listed below, inregards to Radio Frequency (RF) energy and electromagnetic energy (EME) generated by thetransceiver.•FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only. RF Exposure limits adopted by the FCC aregenerally based on recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurements, & the American National Standards Institute.•FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C•American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992)•American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992)This KENWOOD transceiver generates RF EME while transmitting. RF EME (Radio Frequency Electric &Magnetic Energy) has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your body lessthan the recommended distance from this radio transmitter’s antenna. RF energy exposure is determinedprimarily by the distance to and the power of the transmitting device. In general, RF exposure isminimized when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is kept to the minimum requiredfor consistent communications, and the greatest distance possible from the antenna to the body ismaintained. The transceiver has been designed for and is classified for Occupational Use Only.Occupational/ controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed to RFenergy as a consequence of their employment, and such persons have been made aware of the potentialfor exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This means you can use the transceiver only ifyou are aware of the potential hazards of operating a transceiver and are familiar in ways to minimizethese hazards. This transceiver is not intended for use by the general public in uncontrolled environments.Uncontrolled environment exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may beexposed to RF energy, or in which the persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employmentmay not be fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure.The following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RFexposure and of how to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are notexceeded.•While transmitting (holding the PTT switch), always keep the antenna and the radio at least 3 cm (1 3/16inches) from your body or face, as well as from any bystanders.•Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the total usetime may exceed the limits in accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements. Nominal transceiveroperation is 5% transmission time, 5% reception time, and 90% stand-by time.•Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either the antenna provided with thetransceiver or another antenna authorized by KENWOOD.Use only KENWOOD authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips, Speaker/ Mics orheadsets etc.): When worn on the body, always place the radio in a KENWOOD recommended clip orcarrying case meant for this product. The use of other than recommended or approved body- wornaccessories may result in RF exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s occupational/ controlledenvironment RF exposure limits.To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for occupational use, you must observeand adhere to the above points.Electromagnetic Interference CompatibilityElectronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if they are not adequatelyshielded or designed for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy,it can cause interference to such equipment.•Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities useequipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.•Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed. Use of the transceiver must bein accordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions. B59-2391-00RF Safety Info A6 (B59-2391-00) 04.5.20, 9:06 AM1
