RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE
This 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 Retekess radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet
government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also rec-
ommend specific operating instructions to users of the 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 ex-
posure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established
RF exposure limits: http://www.who.int/en/
Local Government Regulations
When 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
Retekess radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Retekess user
manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions
required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
