RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR TWO-WAY RADIOS

• User instructions should accompany the device when transferred to other users Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met
• This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide commurncations 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 instructions are important because they inform users of RF energy exposure and providesimple 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/
• When two-way 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 Retevis two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause hamiful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio厅V technician for help

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
General population/uncontrolled Radio, this radio is designed for and classified as “General population/uncontrolled Use

• 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 75% of total radio use time, more than 75% of the time can 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 head and the device or its antenna shall be at least 2.5 cm.

Hand-held Mode(if applicable)
Hold the radio in a vertical pas仆ion 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 distance is important as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from the antenna

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 Choking Hazard
Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years

Turn off your radio power in the following conditions:

• Turn off your 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 equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
• 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.

• 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 orpermanently 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

• BATTERY WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

• Store spare batteries securely

• If the battery compartment (if applicable) does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children

• If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention

• Dispose of used batteries immediately and safely Long transmission

• When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will become hot.
