RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR
TWO-WAY RADIOS
•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-estab-
lished 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.
Radio License(only applicable to licensed radio)
Governments keep the radios in classification, business two-way radios operate on radio frequencies that are
regulated by the local radio management departments (FCC, ISED, OFCOM, ANFR, BFTK,
Bundesnetzagentur...).To transmit on these frequencies, you are required to have a license issued by them.
The detailed classification and the use of your two radios, please contact the local government radio
management departments.
Use of this radio outside the country where it was intended to be distributed is subject to government
regulations and may be prohibited.

under the supervision of a person certified as technically qualified to perform transmitter maintenance and
repairs in the private land mobile and fixed services as certified by an organization representative of the user of
those services.
Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) not authorized by the local
government radio management departments equipment authorization for this radio could violate the rules.
