RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE
This radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communicat-
ions between two or more users over a distance. RF energy, which when used improperly, can cause
biological damage.
All Retekess 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 the radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure
and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites 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
When radios are used as a consequence of employment, the Local Government Regulations requires
users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements.
Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user
awareness information. Your Retekess radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Retekess
user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to
control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Radio License (if appropriate)
Governments keep the radios in classification, business radios operate on radio frequencies that are
regulated by the local radio management departments (FCC, ISED, OFCOM, ANFR, BFTK, Bundes-
netzagentur...).To transmit on these frequencies, you are required to have a license issued by them.
The detailed classification and the use of your radios, please contact the local government radio
management departments.
Use of this radio outside the country where it was intended to be distributed is subject to government
regulations and may be prohibited.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance may void
the user’s authority granted by the local government radio management departments to operate this
radio and should not be made. To comply with the corresponding requirements, transmitter adjustme-
nts should be made only by or under the supervision of a person certified as technically qualified to
perform transmitter maintenance and repairs in the private land mobile and fixed services as certified
by an organization representative of the user of those services.
Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) not authorized by the local
government radio management departments equipment authorization for this radio could violate the
rules.
