Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, literature,
or packaging reminds you that all electrical and electronic products,
batteries, and accumulators must be taken to designated collection
locations at the end of their working life. Do not dispose of these
products as unsorted municipal waste. Dispose of them according to
the laws and rules in your area.
RF Safety
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. 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/
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important as RF exposure decreases
with increasing distance from the proper antenna. A proper antenna is the
antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or specifically authorized
by the local authority for use with this radio. This radio can only be operated by
use of an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter under regulations and rules. This transmitter must operate with the
antenna(s) documented and in Push-to-Talk and body-worn configurations as
documented.Using Authorized accessories is important because the use of
Non-Retevis accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the
IEEE/ICNIRP RF exposure limits.
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. Transmitting
necessary information or less, is important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring
for standards compliance.Some measures to reduce your RF exposure include:
Reduce the amount of time spent using your wireless device.
Use a speakerphone, earpiece, headset, or hands-free accessory to reduce
proximity to the head (and thus head exposure). While wired earpieces may
conduct some energy to the head and wireless earpieces also emit a small
amount of RF energy, both wired and wireless earpieces remove the
greatest source of RF energy (handheld device) from proximity to the head
and thus can greatly reduce total exposure to the head.
Increase the distance between wireless devices and your body.
This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational/Controlled Use Only".
Occupational/Controlled environments are defined as locations where there is
exposure that may be incurred by people who are aware of the potential of
exposure. It meaning a radio must be used only by individuals aware of the
hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards; NOT intended for use in a
General population/uncontrolled environment.
