RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR PORTABLE
TWO-WAY RADIOS
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spec-
trum 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 instr
uctions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and
provide simple procedures on how to control it.Please refer to the following websi-
tes 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

rnment Regulations requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their ex-
posure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated
by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information.

user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instruc-
tions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
