WarnIng! Fcc rF ExposurE rEquIrEmEnts

 When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm) away from

your mouth and keep the antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from your head and body.

 The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-

Talk congurations.

DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than

50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. To keep the Body

Worn conguration with the Vertex Standard CLIP-20 belt-clip, reduce the maximum operating duty

cycle still more.

The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the ra-

dio to transmit by pressing the P-T-T button.

 SAR compliance for body-worn use was only demonstrated for the specic belt-clip (CLIP-20). Other

body-worn accessories or congurations may NOT comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements and

should be avoided.

 When operate the radio with the Vertex Standard CLIP-20 belt-clip, make the transmission time as short

as possible, to keep the Body Worn conguration.

 Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories.

 The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of

RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this

radio.

 Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, this radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other de-

vices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.
