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.
