guidelines, your radio generates measurable RF energy only while it is
transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby
mode.
NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a
5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5% listen-90% standby) even though this radio
complies with FCC occupational exposure limits and may operate at duty
factors of up to 50% talk.
RF energy exposure standards and guidelines (if appropriate)
Your Retevis two-way radio complies with the following RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
•United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical &
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-2005
•IEEE Std. 1528:2013 and KDB447498, Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
Fields.
•Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.3-2002
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
•Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6 & Industry Canada RSS-102.
•International Electrotechnical Com-mission IEC62209-2:2010
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the
occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the
following procedures.
Guidelines:
•User awareness instructions should accompany the device when
transferred to other users.
•Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are
not met.
Operating Instructions:
•Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To
Transmit (Talk), push the Push To Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls
(listen), release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is
important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure
only when transmitting in terms of measuring for standards compliance.
