TWO-WAY RADIOS
Before using this radio, read this guide which contains important operating
instructions for safe usage and rf energy awareness and control for compliance with
applicable standards and regulations.
ATTENTION!
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 addition, 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:http://www.who.int/en/
Local Government Regulations
