• DO NO
T transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time, more
than 50% of the time can cause RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded.
• During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid
such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted
to do so.
• DO NO
T operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting
sites.
• Portable Device, this transmitter may operate with the antenna(s)
documented in this filing in Push-to-Talk and body-worn configurations.
RF exposure compliance is limited to the specific belt-clip and acce-
ssory configurations as documented in this filing and the separation
distance between user and the device or its antenna shall be at least
2.5 cm.
• Mobile Device, during operation, the separation distance between
user and the antenna subjects to actual regulations, this separation
distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly
installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure
requirements.
• Occupational/Controlled Radio, this radio is designed for and class-
ified as “Occupational/Controlled Use Only”, meaning it must be
used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of
the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards; NOT intended
for use in a General population/uncontrolled environment.
• General population/uncontrolled Radio, this radio is designed for
and classified as “General population/uncontrolled Use”.
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.
•
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 bod
y, 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 RF
exposure limits.
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.
