RF Safety
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. 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/
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance
from the proper antenna. A proper antenna is an antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or
specifically authorized by the local authority for use with this radio. This radio can only be operated by use
of an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter under regulations and
rules. This transmitter must operate with the antenna(s) documented and in Push-to-Talk and body-worn
configurations as documented. Using authorized accessories is important because the use of Non-Retevis
accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP RF exposure limits.
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor 50% of the time. Transmitting necessary information or less, is
important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting in terms of
measuring for standards compliance. For users who wish to further reduce their exposure, some effective
measures to reduce RF exposure include:
•Reduce the amount of time spent using your wireless device.
•Use a speakerphone, earpiece, headset, or other hands-free accessory to reduce proximity to the head
(and thus head exposure). While wired earpieces may conduct some energy to the head and wireless
earpieces also emit a small amount of RF energy, both wired and wireless earpieces remove the greatest
source of RF energy (handheld device) from proximity to the head and thus can greatly reduce total
exposure to the head.
•Increase the distance between wireless devices and your body.
This radio is designed for and classified as “General population/uncontrolled use”. General population/un-
controlled environments are defined as locations where there is exposure of individuals who have no
knowledge or control of RF exposure level.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. 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, such as hospitals or
healthcare facilities.
Turn off your radio in the following conditions:
•Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially hazardous or explosive atmosphere. Only
radio types that are especially qualified should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”.
Note: the areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred to above include blasting caps, blasting
areas, inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, fueling areas such as below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often – but not always
posted.
•Turn off your radio when taking on fuel or parked at gasoline service stations.
•Turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.•Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a burn can result.•Turn off your radio
before removing or installing accessories.
•When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will become hot.
Protect your hearing
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job. Turn up the volume only if you are in
noisy surroundings.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker directly against your
ear.
• Use carefully with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.
CAUTION: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have
a cumulative effect.
Batteries Safety
•WARNING: KEEP NEW OR OLD USED BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
•In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact
has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice
immediately.
•If a radio or a battery has been submerged in water, please dry and clean it before use. Do not dry the
radio or battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven. If the radio has
been submersed in a corrosive substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water, then
dry them.
•Since batteries are sensitive to high temperatures when storing them, keep them in a cool and dry place.
The recommended temperature should be between +10 ℃and +25℃and never exceed +30℃. Batteries
should therefore not be stored next to radiators or boilers nor in direct sunlight. Extremes of humidity (below
35% and above 95% relative humidity for sustained periods should be avoided since they are detrimental to
both batteries and packing. Although the storage life of batteries at room temperature is good, storage is
improved at lower temperatures provided special precautions are taken. Also, accelerated warming is
harmful.
Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion
or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas;
A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable
liquid or gas.
•Turn off your radio before removing or installing a battery. Store spare batteries
securely. Dispose of used batteries immediately and safely.
•The battery supply terminals are not to be short-circuit.
•Do not replace the battery in any area labeled “Hazardous Atmosphere”.
Any sparks created in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause
explosion or fire.
•When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touches
exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and become
hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it
inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects;
•Dirty battery contacts need to be wiped with clean dry cloth, both on the battery and in the appliance.
•Batteries should be removed from the appliance when not being used for long periods of time (months).
The batteries should be enclosed in special protective packaging (such as sealed plastic bags or variants)
which should be retained to protect them from condensation during the time they are warming to ambient
temperature.
•Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the equipment.
•Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries. Batteries should be dismantled only by trained people.
•Disposal of a battery into fire, or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result
in explosion;
•Turn off your radio before charging.
•Batteries shall be charged at 10℃~40℃ environment temperature specified. If the environment
temperature is lower than 0℃, the charge shall be prohibited.
•Rechargeable batteries need to be charged with a dedicated charger provided for each piece of equipment
before you first use them.
•Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged by adults or by children at least 8 years old under adult
supervision.
•Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
•Unplug the charger from the AC outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
•Do not use the charger outdoors or in moist environments, use only in dry locations/conditions.
•Do not disassemble the charger, which may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. A charger should be
dismantled only by trained people.
•Do not operate the charger if it has been broken or damaged in any way.
•An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord
could result in a risk of a fire and/or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:
•The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those on the plug of
the charger.
•The extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
•Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress.
•NEVER charge a battery unless it is a rechargeable battery.
•Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (Ni-Cd; Ni-MH) batteries.
•Different types of batteries or new and used old batteries are not to be mixed. Do not mix batteries of
different manufacturers, capacities, or sizes.
•Batteries must be inserted with the correct polarity. Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type can
defeat the safeguard. There will be a risk of fire or explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
•Do not mix batteries of different manufacture, capacity, size, or type within a device.
•If the battery compartment (if applicable) does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away
from children;
•Never put batteries in your mouth. Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death. If you think batteries
might have been swallowed or otherwise placed inside any part of the body, please seek immediate medical
attention and contact the local poison control center.;
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a small-size battery, such as a button or coin battery, is stuck in a
children’s esophagus (food pipe). There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might:
•Cough, gag or drool a lot;
•Appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
•Be sick;
•Point to their throats or stomachs;
•Have pain in their abdomen, chest, or throat;
•Be tired or lethargic;
•Be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “ not themselves”;
•Lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite;
•Not want to eat solid food/ be unable to eat solid food.
These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate with the pain increasing or subsiding. A specific symptom of
button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this, seek immediate
medical help. The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with button or coin batteries
and the products that contain them in the home.
Adapter
The plug of the adapter is considered a disconnect device. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
The power delivered by the charger must be between min 2.61 Watts and max 2.89 Watts required by the
radio equipment in order to achieve the maximum charging speed.
