Part F: WARRANTY AND SAFETY INFORMATION

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It applies radio waves or radio frequency (RF) energy to transmit and receive voice calls or data. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All UNICATION U3 two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. Additionally, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are essential because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your UNICATION U3 two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. In addition, your UNICATION U3 user manual and separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.

Part F: WARRANTY AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards UNICATION’s U3 two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50%listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio generates measurable RF energy only. while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. UNICATION P25 two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: • United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992 • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition • International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998 • Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to300 GHz, 1999 • Australian Communications Authority Radio communications (Electromagnetic Radiation – Human Exposure) Standard, 2003 • ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002 "Regulation of limitation of exposure to electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the radiofrequency range between 9 KHz and 300 GHz" and "Attachment to resolution #303 from July 2, 2002" RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions GUIDELINES : • Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device. • User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users. • Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures. The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a 5-5-90duty factor (5% talk-5% listen-90% standby) even though this radio complies with FCC occupational exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk. Note

Part F: WARRANTY AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Operating Instructions • Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit(talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). • Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the nose or lips. Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna. • When worn on the body, always place the radio in the UNICATION P25-approved belt clip for this product. Using approved body worn accessories is important because the use of non-UNICATION P25-approvedaccessories may cause exposure levels, which exceed the FCC occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. • If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended-use position in front of the face (one inch away), ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least 0.75 inches (1.9 centimeters) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna. Approved Accessories • Use only UNICATION U3 -approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. The use of Non-UNICATION P25 approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC (IEEE) and ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines. • Here is a list of UNICATION U3 -approved accessories: Belt Clip, External Speaker Mic. with wired earpiece, clone cable, USB cable, the 2400mAHr Lithium Polymer battery, and the cradle charger.
