Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios
ATTENTION!
Before using this product, read the RF Energy Exposure
and Product Safety Guide that ships with the radio
which contains instructions for safe usage and RF
energy awareness and control for compliance with
applicable standards and regulation.
ACOUSTIC SAFETY
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended
periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect
your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less
time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes
undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy
surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before connecting headset or
earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or
earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece,
do not place the radio's speaker directly against your
ear.
