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.
