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 communications 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.

interference. (Licensed radios are applicable);
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (Other devices are
applicable)
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
•This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant 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 instruction 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.
•This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
