RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR PORTABLE TWO-WAY
RADIOS
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications
between two or more users over a distance. RF energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage.
All Retevis two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF
exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures
on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your
exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:http://www.who.int/en/
Local Government Regulations
When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the Local Government Regulations requires users
to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Retevis
two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Retevis user manual, or separate safety booklet includes
information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Radio License
Governments keep the radios in classification, business two-way radios operate on radio frequencies that are
regulated by the local radio management departments (FCC, ISED, OFCOM, ANFR, BFTK, Bundesnetzagentur...).
To transmit on these frequencies, you are required to have a license issued by them. The detailed classification and
the use of your two radios, please contact the local government radio management departments.
Use of this radio outside the country where it was intended to be distributed is subject to government regulations and
may be prohibited.
Before using this radio, read this guide which contains important operating
instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for
compliance with applicable standards and regulations.

management departments equipment authorization for this radio could violate the rules.
FCC Requirements:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference. (Licensed radios are applicable);
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (Other
devices are applicable)
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
