RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION

This

KENWOOD

transceiver has been tested and complies with the

standards listed below, in regards to Radio Frequency (RF) energy

and electromagnetic energy (EME) generated by the transceiver.

• FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only.

RF Exposure limits

adopted by the FCC are generally based on recommendations from

the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, & 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)

WARNING

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 less

than the recommended distance from this radio transmitter’s antenna.

RF energy exposure is determined primarily by the distance to and the

power of the transmitting device.

In general, RF exposure is minimized

when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is kept to

the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatest

distance possible from the antenna to the body is maintained.

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 RF energy as a consequence of their

employment, and such persons have been made aware of the potential

for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.

This means

you can use the transceiver only if you are aware of the potential hazards

of operating a transceiver and are familiar in ways to minimize these

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 be exposed to RF

energy, or in which the persons who are exposed as a consequence of

their employment may 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 RF exposure and of how to operate this transceiver so that

the FCC RF exposure limitations are not exceeded.

•

While transmitting (holding the PTT switch or speaking with VOX

enabled), always keep the antenna and the radio at least 3 cm (1.18

inches) from your body or face, as well as from any bystanders.

A LED

on the top of the radio shows red when the transmitter is operating in both

PTT and VOX modes.

•

Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time;

transmitting over 50% of the total use time may exceed the limits in

accordance to the FCC RF exposure requirements.

Nominal transceiver

operation 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 the transceiver or another antenna authorized by

KENWOOD

.

Use only

KENWOOD

authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs,

belt clips, Speaker/ Mics or headsets etc.): When worn on the body, always

place the radio in a

KENWOOD

recommended clip or carrying case meant

for this product. The use of other than recommended or approved body-

worn accessories may result in RF exposure levels which exceed the

FCC’s occupational/ controlled environment RF exposure limits.

CAUTION

To ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for

occupational use, you must observe and adhere to the above points.

Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility

Electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI)

if they are not adequately shielded 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 use equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic

radiation.

•

Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed.

Use of the transceiver must be in accordance with airline regulations and/

or crew instructions.
