RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE FOR
PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIOS
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio
frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two
or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy
or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of
electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to,
sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused
with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used
improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays,
for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry
work with organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to
RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF
exposure for both workers and the general public. These
recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of
protection.
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 limits:

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.
Radio License
Governments keep the radios in classification, most of the classified
walkie-talkie need to get local government License, and operation is
allowed. The detailed classification and the use of your two radios,
please contact the local government radio management
departments.
For the following specified classification: the USA FRS, Australian
CB, the individual license is not required.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards (If appropriate,
Reference to the actual product’s Safety Marking)
Your Retevis two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a
number of national and International standards and guidelines
(listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency
electro-magnetic energy.
