RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIOS
Before using this radio, read this guide which contains important
operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness
and control for compliance with applicable standards and
regulations.
ATTENTION!
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communicati-
ons between two or more users over a distance. RF energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological
damage.
All Retevis two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established
RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of
two-way radios. These instructions are important 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.who.int/en/
Local Government Regulations
When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the Local Government Regulations 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 Retevis two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Retevis user manual, or separate
safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to
satisfy compliance requirements.

to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the ins-
truction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
