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

(inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).
•
Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.

radio at a proper distance is important as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from
the antenna.
