Retevis RB89, User Manual

Page: 11 / 15

•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/uncon-
trolled Use”.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedures. 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.
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 necessary information or less, is important
because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring for
standards compliance.
•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 energy 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 hospitals,
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 configura-
tions as documented in this filing and the separation distance between head 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 ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed
externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements. 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.
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. Do not use the equipment when you are driving
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.
WARNING
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.
