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, which typically provides a space of 1 inch from the  
body. 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  
• 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.
