RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR PORTABLE 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.
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
