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 requirem-
ents 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.
