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 50% of total radio use time, more than 50% 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 user and the device or its antenna shall be at least 2.5 cm.
•Mobile Device, during operation, the separation distance between user and the antenna
subjects to actual regulations, this separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient
distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure
requirements.
•Occupational/Controlled Radio, this radio is designed for and classified as
"Occupational/Controlled Use Only", meaning it must be used only during the course of
employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards;
NOT intended for use in a General population/uncontrolled environment.
•General population/uncontrolled Radio, this radio is designed for and classified as "General
population/uncontrolled Use".
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
•User awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to other
users.
•Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
•Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To Transmit (Talk), push the
Push to Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls (listen), release the PTT button. Transmitting
50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring for standards compliance.
•Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum
lateral distance away from a properly installed according to installation instructions,
externally mounted antenna.
•When operating in front of the face, worn on the body, always place the radio in a Retevis
approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved
body-worn accessories is important because the use of Non-Retevis approved accessories
may result in exposure levels, which exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP RF exposure limits.
