Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
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 uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and
receive calls. 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 RADTEL 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/

12
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.
Radio License
Governments keep the radios in classification, most of the classified
walkie-talkie need to get local government License, and operation is allowed.
The detailed classification and the use of your two radios, please contact
the local government radio management departments. For the following
specified classification: the USA/CA FRS, Australian CB, EU PMR446, the
individual license is not required.
FCC ID
The FCC ID means: 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 approved for
occupational use only.
IC ID
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause interference, and (2)This device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device
The CE marking means: Hereby, Xiamen Radtel Electronics Co.,Ltd
declares that the radio equipment type is in compliance with the RED

Directive 2014/53/EU and the ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU and the WEEE
Directive 2012/19/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is
