• 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/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 (if applicable):
• 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(if applicable)
• 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(if applicable)
• 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.
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.
WARNING
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts
• 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.
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 any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently 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 jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed terminals of the
batteries, may complete an electrical 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
Forbid
• Do not use charger outdoors or in moist environments, use only in dry locations/conditions.
• 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
Approved Accessories
• This radio meets the RF exposure guidelines when used with the Retevis accessories supplied or
designated for the product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the RF
exposure guidelines and may violate regulations.
