(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes :
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
RF Exposure Information (if appropriate)
•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper antenna
is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio, and the antenna gain
shall not exceed the specified gain by the manufacturer declared.
•DO NOT 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.
•The device complies with RF specifications when the device used at 5mm from your body. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this
device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and
should be avoided.
•DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
Avoid Choking Hazard
Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Protect your hearing:
WARNING
• 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
• Use careful with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss
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 affected. Hearing damage
from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
Avoid Burns
WARNING
Antennas
•Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin when the radio
is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
•When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical
circuit (short circuit the battery) and become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects
Long transmission
•When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will become hot.
Safety Operation
WARNING
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 Retekess for assistance regarding repairs and service.
•The adapter shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible
•Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
