RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR PORTABLE TWO-WAY
RADIOS
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum 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 ad-dition, manufacturers also recommend
specific operating instructions to users of two-way 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:

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

Exposure Product Label. Also, your Retevis user manual, or separate safety booklet includes
information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to
satisfy compliance requirements.
