FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
WARNING!
Read this information before using the radio
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
• Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines.
WARNING!
It is up to the user to properly operate this radio transmitter to insure safe operation. Please adhere to the following:
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the supplied belt-clip. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, body-worn operations are restricted to the supplied belt-clip.
For hand-held operation, the radio should be held 1 inch from the user's face. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
• When using an external speaker microphone, USE ONLY THE
UNIDEN MODEL HHVTA07 (black) or HHVTAW07 (white). Use of any other accessory for this purpose may invalidate your authority to operate this device.
