•Mobile Device, during operation, the separation distance between user and the
antenna subjects to actual regulations, this separation distance will ensure that
there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna
to satisfy the RF exposure requirements.
•Occupational/Controlled Radio, this radio is designed 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/uncon-
trolled 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 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 RF exposure limits.
Hand-held Mode
• Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other parts of the
radio including the antenna) at least 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 distance is 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
