•Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the
recommended minimum lateral distance away from a properly installed
according to installation instructions, externally mounted antenna.
•When operating in front of the face, worn on the body, always place the
radio in a Retevis approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for
this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important because
the use of Non-Retevis approved accessories may result in exposure
levels, which exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP occupational/controlled environment
RF exposure limits.
•If you are not using a body worn accessory and are not using the radio in
the intended use position, in front of the face or at the body in the PTT
mode or alongside of the head in the phone mode, then ensure the antenna
and the radio are kept 2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting.
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important because RF exposures
decrease with increasing distance from the antenna
Hand-held Mode
• Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone
(and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least
2.5 cm (one inch) away from the nose or lips. The antenna
should be kept away from the eyes. Keeping the radio at a proper distance
is important as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from the
antenna.
Phone Mode
•When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio product as you
would a wireless telephone. Speak directly into the microphone.
