RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR PORTABLE
TWO-WAY RADIOS
ATTENTION!
•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-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 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.
Unauthorized modification and adjustment
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance may void the user’s authority
granted by the local government radio management departments to operate this radio and should not be made. To comply
with the corresponding requirements, transmitter adjustments should be made only by or 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.
FCC Requirements:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference. (Licensed radios are applicable);
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (Other devices
are applicable)
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
(Only Applicable to GMRS radio station):
A valid individual license is required to operate a GMRS station. To obtain an individual license, an applicant must be
eligible and follow the applicable rules and procedures established by FCC. The applicant must pay the required
application and regulatory fees. Each individual license in the GMRS will normally have a term of ten years from the date
of grant or renewal, and may be renewed pursuant to the procedures of FCC. To obtain a GMRS operator license, you
need FCC Form 605 & 159, we suggest visiting the FCC website at https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/support/fcc-form-605,
which includes necessary instructions. More questions about the license application, please contact the FCC at
1-888-225-5322 or go to the FCC's website: http://www.fcc.gov.
According to FCC rules, any individual who holds an individual license may allow his or her immediate family members to
operate his or her GMRS station or stations. Immediate family members are the licensee's spouse, children, grandchil-
dren, stepchildren, parents, grandparents, stepparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and in-laws.
•(Only applicable to industrial environment)This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
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.
