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

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.
