Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility - Retevis RB85 Manuel De L'utilisateur

•Occupational/Controlled Radio, this radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational/Controlled Use Only",
meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the
ways to minimize such hazards; NOT intended for use in a General population/uncontrolled environment.
•General population/uncontrolled Radio, this radio is designed for and classified as "General population/uncon-
trolled Use".
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
•User awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to other users.
•Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
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 (listen), release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important
because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring for
standards compliance.
•Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away
from a properly installed according to installation instructions, externally mounted antenna.
•When operating in front of the face, worn on the body, always place the radio in a Retevis approved clip, holder,
holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important because the
use of Non-Retevis approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP RF
exposure limits.
Hand-held Mode
• Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the
antenna) at least 2.5 cm (one inch) away from the nose or lips. The antenna should be kept away
from the eyes. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important as RF exposure decreases with
increasing distance from the antenna.
Phone Mode
•When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio product as you would a wireless telephone. Speak
directly into the microphone.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility
Avoid Choking Hazard
Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Turn off your radio power in the following conditions:
•Turn off your radio before removing (installing) a battery or accessory or when charging battery.
•Turn off your radio when you are in a potentially hazardous environments: Near electrical blasting
caps, in a blasting area, in explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders,
WARNING
grain powders, etc.).
•Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts
•Turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so, hospitals or health care
facilities (Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and Other Medical Devices) may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
•Turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with
applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
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 adding headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
WARNING
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker directly
against your ear
