WARNINGS
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.
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

Local Government Regulations
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.
