RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY
GUIDE FOR PORTABLE WALKIE TALKIE

This walkie talkie 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 walkie talkie are designed, manufactured,
and tested to ensure they meet government-established

Warnings

ATTENTION!

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.

RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users
of walkie talkie. 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: http://www.who.int/en

WARNING

Avoid Burns

Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Turn off your radio power in the following
conditions:

• Turn off your radio before removing
(installing) a battery or accessory or when
charging battery.

• Turn off your radio when you are in a
potentially hazardous environments: Near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,
in explosive atmospheres (inflammable
gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain

powders, etc.).

• Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or
while parked at gasoline service stations.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inad­ equately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.

To avoid electromagnetic interference
and/or compatibility conflicts

• Turn off your radio in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so, hosp-

itals or health care facilities (Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids and Other Medical Devices)
may be using equipment that is sensitive
to external RF energy.

• Turn off your radio when on board an

aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in

accordance with applicable regulations
per airline crew instructions.

Note:

- Pacemakers

Defibrillators or other Implanted Medical
Devices Persons with pacemakers, Impla­ntable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) or
other active implantable medical devices
(AIMD) should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm

from their pacemaker when the radio is
turned on.

• Consult with their physicians regarding the

potential risk of interference from radio

frequency transmitters, such as portable

radios (poorly shielded medical devices

may be more susceptible to interference).

• Turn the radio OFF immediately if they have

any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.

• Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or

near the implantation site, and carry or use

the radio on the opposite side of their body

WARNING

from the implantable device to minimize
the potential for interference.

- Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless radios may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.

- Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from
RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.

Protect your hearing:

• Use the lowest volume necessary to do
your job.

• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy
surroundings.

• Turn down the volume before adding
headset or earpiece.

• Limit the amount of time you use headsets
or earpieces at high volume.

• When using the radio without a headset or
earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker
directly against your ear.

Note:
Exposure to loud noises from any source
for extended periods of time may temporarily
or permanently affect your hearing. The
louder the radio's volume, the less time is
required before your hearing could be

WARNING

affected. Hearing damage from loud noise
is sometimes undetectable at first and can
have a cumulative effect.

Avoid Burns

- Forbid

• Do not use charger outdoors or in moist
environments, use only in dry locations/
conditions.

• Do not disassemble the charger, that may
result in risk of electrical shock or fire.

• Do not operate the charger if it has been
broken or damaged in any way.

• Do not place a portable radio in the area
over an air bag or in the air bag deployment

area. The radio may be propelled with great
force and cause serious injury to occupants
of the vehicle when the air bag inflates.

- To reduce risk

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.

• Unplug the charger from the AC outlet
before attempting any maintenance or

cleaning.

• Contact Retevis for assistance regarding

repairs and service.

- Use of Communication Devices While

Driving

• Always check the laws and regulations on
the use of radios in the countries and areas

where you drive.

• Give your full attention to driving and to

the road.

WARNING

• If available, use the hands-free facility.

• If driving conditions or regulations require

it, pull off the road and park before making

or answering a call.

Approved Accessories

• This radio meets the RF exposure guidelin­ es when used with the Retevis accessories

supplied or designated for the product.

Use of other accessories may not ensure

compliance with the RF exposure guidelines

and may violate regulations.

• For a list of Retevis-approved accessories
for your radio model, visit the following

website: http://www.Retevis.com

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.

• 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 nose or lips when transmitting.
