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 RFenergy
exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring for standards
compliance.
• Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the reco-
mmended 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
