• Turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio
must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline
crew instructions.
Protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high
volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place
the radio's speaker directly against your ear
• Use careful with the earphone maybe possible excessive
sound pressure from earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss
Note: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended
periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect your
hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less time is
required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing
damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first
and can have a cumulative effect.
Avoid Burns
Antennas
• Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin when the
radio is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
• When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains
touch exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and become hot to
cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any
battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other
container with metal objects
Long transmission
• When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator
and chassis will become hot.

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 dista-
nce 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
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Avoid Burns
Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Turn off your radio power in the following conditions:
• Turn off yo
ur radio before removing (installing) a battery or
accessory or when charging battery.
• Turn off your radio when you are in a potentially hazardous
environments: Near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, in
explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic
powders, grain powders, etc.).
• Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline
service stations.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts
• Turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct
you to do so, hospitals or health care facilities (Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids and Other Medical Devices) may be using equipm-
ent that is sensitive to external RF energy.
