RF Exposure Information
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio
and may also cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied
with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for
use with this radio, and the antenna gain shall not exceed the specified gain by the manufacturer
declared.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time, more than 50% of the time ca
cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
• During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with
other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are
posted to do so.
• DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as
hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
• Portable Device, this transmitter may operate with the antenna(s) documented in this filing in
Push-to-Talk and body-worn configurations. RF exposure compliance is limited to the specific
belt-clip and accessory configurations as documented in this filing and the separation distance
between user
'
s face and the device
'
s antenna shall be at least 2.5 cm.
• Mobile Device, during operation, the separation distance between user and the antenna subjects
to actual regulations, this separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a
properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements.
• General population/uncontrolled Radio, this radio is designed for and classified as "General
population/uncontrolled Use".

RF
Exposure
Compliance
and
Control
Guidelines
and
Operating
Instructions
To control
your
exposure
and
ensure
compliance
with
the
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
