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
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
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.
