RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY
GUIDE FOR PORTABLE WALKIE TALKIE
This walkie talkie uses electromagnetic energy in the
radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communi-
cations 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 Retevis walkie talkie are designed, manufactured,
and tested to ensure they meet government-established
Warnings
ATTENTION!
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.

RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users
of walkie talkie. 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 walkie talkie 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 walkie talkie
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 mana-
gement departments. For the following specified
classification: the USA FRS, Australian CB, the
individual license is not required.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards (If
appropriate, Reference to the actual product’s
Safety Marking)
Your Retevis walkie talkie is designed and tested to
comply with a number of national and International
standards and guidelines (listed below) for human
exposure to radio frequency electro-magnetic energy.
FCC ID
The FCCID 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.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with
these exposure guidelines, your radio generates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or
in standby mode.
Note:
The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are
rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5% listen-90%
standby) even though this radio complies with FCC
occupational exposure limits and may operate at
duty factors of up to 50% talk.

RF energy exposure standards and guidelines
(if appropriate)
Your Retevis walkie talkie complies with the following
RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part
2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) /
Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95. 1-2005
• IEEE Std. 1528:2013 and KDB447498, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.3-2002
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP)
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6 & Industry
Canada RSS-102.
• International Electrotechnical Com-mission
IEC62209-2:2010]
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 transmi-
tting 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 occupational/controlled
environment RF exposure limits.
• If you are not using a body worn accessory and are
not using the radio in the intended use position, in
front of the face or at the body in the PTT mode or
alongside of the head in the phone mode, then
ensure the antenna and the radio are kept 2.5 cm
(one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping
the radio at a proper distance is important because
RF exposures decrease with increasing distance
from the antenna.
Hand-held Mode
• Hold the radio in a vertical position
with the microphone (and other parts
of the radio including the antenna)
