RF EXPOSURE SAFETY STATEMENT SAFETY INFORMATION Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power trans- mitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices. This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% (this corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50% reception t

3. ABOUT THIS RADIO 3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND WARNING The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with NOAA Weather stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over dis- tances that are essentially “Line of sight” Actual transmission range de- pends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than
