RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY
GUIDE FOR PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIOS
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in
theradio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide comm-
unications 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, manufac-
tured, and tested to ensure they meet government-
established RF exposure levels. In addition, manu-
facturers also recommend specific operating instru-
ctions to users of two-way radios. These instructio-
ns 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 infor-
mation on what RF energy exposure is and how to
control your exposure to assure compliance with es-
tablished RF exposure limits:http://www.who.int/en/
Warnings
Before using this radio, read this guide which
contains important operating instructions for safe
usage and RFenergy awareness and control
for compliance with applicable standards and
regulations.

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 co-
ntrol their exposure to meet occupational require-
ments. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by
the use of a product label directing users to spec-
ific user awareness information. Your Retevis two-
way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also,
your Retevis user manual, or separate safety boo-
klet includes information and operating instructions
required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy
compliance requirements.

RF Exposure Information
•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna
attached, as this may damage the radio and may also
cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper
antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the
manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized
by the manufacturer for use with this radio, and the

antenna gain shall not exceed the specified gain by
the manufacturer declared.
•DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio
use time, more than 50% of the time can cause RF
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
•During transmissions, your radio generates RF en-
ergy that can possibly cause interference with other
devices or systems. To avoid such interference,turn
off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.
•DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are
sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hos-
pitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
•Portable Device, this transmitter may operate with
the antenna(s) documented in this filing in Push-to
-Talk and body-worn configurations. RF exposure
compliance is limited to the specific belt-clip and
accessory configurations as documented in this
filing and the separation distance between user and
the device or its antenna shall be at least 2.5 cm.
•Mobile Device, during operation, the separation
distance between user and the antenna subjects to
actual regulations, this separation distance will ens-
ure that there is sufficient distance from a properly
installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the
RF exposure requirements.
•Occupational/Controlled Radio, this radio is design-
ed 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/
uncontrolled 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 installa-
tion 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 micro-
phone (and other parts of the radio including

WARNING
WARNING
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,
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, hos-
pitals 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.
theantenna) atleast 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 distanceis 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. 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.
• When using the radio without a headset or
earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker
directly against your ear
• Use careful with the earphone maybe
possible excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss
Note: Exposure to loud noises from anys-
ource for extended periods of time

WARNING
WARNING
maytemporarily or perma-nently
affect your hearing. The louder
the radio's volume, the less
time is required before your hearing could
be affected. Hearing damage from loud
noise is sometimes undetectable at first
and can have a cumulative effect.
Avoid Burns
Antennas
•Do not use any portable radio that has a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin when the
radio is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
•When the conductive material such as je-
welry, keys or chains touch exposed term-
inals of the batteries, may complete an el-
ectrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and
become hot to cause bodily injury such as
burns. Exercise care in handling any battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse or other container with metal objects
Long transmission
•When the transceiver is used for long
transmissions, the radiator and chassis
will become hot.
Safety Operation
•Do not disassemble the charger, that may
result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
•Do not operate the charger if it has been
broken or damaged in any way.
•Do not place a portable radio in the area
over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. The radio may be propelled with great
force and cause serious injury to occupants
of the vehicle when the air bag inflates.
To reduce risk
•Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
•Unplug the charger from the AC outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
•Contact Retevis for assistance regarding
repairs and service.
•The adapter shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible
