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 3/16 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. Cet émetteur-récepteur KENWOOD a été testé et est conforme aux normes indiquées ci-dessous, en ce qui concerne l'énergie de radiofréquence (RF) et l'énergie électromagnétique (EME) produite par cet émetteur-récepteur. • Les limites d'exposition radiofréquence FCC pour usage professionnel seulement. Les limites d'exposition RF adoptées par FCC sont basées en général sur les recommendations du Conseil National pour la protection et les mesures radiologiques ainsi que l'Institut national américain des normes. • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Édition 97-01 Supplément C • Institut national américain des normes (C95.1 - 1992) • Institut national américain des normes (C95.3 - 1992) AVERTISSEMENT Cet émetteur-récepteur KENWOOD produit une énergie radiofréquence et électromagnétique lors de la transmission. RF EME (Énergie radiofréquence et électromagnétique) a les capacités de provoquer des effets légèrement thermiques ou chauffant à toute partie de votre corps inférieure à la distance recommandée de l'antenne radio de l'émetteur-récepteur. L'énergie d'exposition RF est déterminée à l'origine par la distance à et l'énergie de l'appareil de transmission. En général, l'exposition RF est minimisée lorsque l'énergie la plus petite possible est utilisée ou le temps de transmission est gardé au minimum requis pour des communications régulières, et la distance la plus grande possible de l'antenne au corps est maintenue. L'émetteur-récepteur a été conçu pour et est classé comme usage professionnel seulement. Les limites d'exposition professionnelle / contrôlée sont applicables aux situations dans lesquelles les personnes sont exposées à l'énergie RF comme une conséquence de leur emploi, et ces personnes ont pris connaissance du potentiel de l'exposition avez pris connaissance des dangers potentiels du fonctionnement de l'émetteur-récepteur et vous êtes familiarisé avec les manières de minimiser ces dangers. Cet émetteur-récepteur n'est pas prévu pour usage du public en général dans des environnements non contrôlés. Les limites d'exposition aux environnements non contrôlés sont applicables aux situations dans lesquelles le public en général peut être exposé à l'énergie RF, ou dans lesquelles les personnes qui sont exposées comme conséquence de leur emploi n'ont pas totalement connaissance des potentiels de l'exposition ou ne peuvent effectuer un contrôle de leur exposition. La liste suivante fournit l'information nécessaire pour assurer que vous prenez connaissance de l'exposition RF et de la manière de faire fonctionner cet émetteurrécepteur de telle manière que les limitations d'exposition FCC RF ne soient pas dépassées. • Lors de la transmission (en maintenant l'interrupteur PTT ou en parlant avec VOX habilité), conservez toujours l'antenne et la radio au moins 3 cm (1 3/16 pouce) de votre corps ou figure, ainsi que de toute personne. Un LED sur la partie supérieure de la radio est rouge lorsque l'émetteur-récepteur fonctionne en mode PTT et VOX. • N'émettez pas pendant plus du 50% du temps d'utilisation total de l'émetteurrécepteur; émettre plus du 50% du temps d'utilisation total peut dépasser les limites suivant les exigences d'exposition FCC RF. Le fonctionnement nominal de l'émetteur-récepteur est 5% du temps d'émission, 5% du temps de réception et 90% du temps en veille. • Utilisez seulement l'antenne spécifiée pour cet émetteur-récepteur, soit l'antenne fournie avec l'émetteur-récepteur soit une autre antenne autorisée par KENWOOD. Utilisez seulement les accessoires autorisés KENWOOD (antennes, blocs-piles, crochets de ceinture, haut-parleur / microphone ou casques etc.): Lorsque vous la portez sur vous, placez toujours la radio dans un crochet ou un boîtier de transport KENWOOD recommandé pour ce produit. L'utilisation de tout autre accessoire que ceux recommandés ou approuvés peut donner lieu à des niveaux d'exposition RF qui dépassent les limites d'exposition FR d'environnement professionnel / contrôlé FCC. ATTENTION Pour assurer que votre exposition à la RF EME se trouvent dans les limites FCC pour usage professionnel, vous devez respecter et suivre les points indiqués précédemment. Compatibilité d'interférence électromagnétique Les appareils électroniques sont susceptibles d'interférence électromagnétique (EMI) s'ils ne sont pas adéquatement protégés ou conçus pour la compatibilité électromagnétique. Étant donné que l'émetteur-récepteur produit de l'énergie RF, il peut provoquer des interférences à certains appareils. • Éteignez votre émetteur-récepteur lorsque les signes d'interférence apparaissent. Les hôpitaux et les installations sanitaires utilisent un équipement qui est sensible aux radiations éléctromagnétiques. • Éteignez votre émetteur-récepteur lorsque vous êtes requis de le faire dans un avion. L'utilisation de l'émetteur-récepteur doit être conforme aux normes aéronautiques et / ou aux instructions de l'équipage.
