RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR TWO-WAY
RADIOS
ATTENTION!
• 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 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 of 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/
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. 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.
