RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE
This radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communicat-
ions between two or more users over a distance. RF energy, which when used improperly, can cause
biological damage.
All Retekess radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established
RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users
of the radios. 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/
Local Government Regulations
When radios are used as a consequence of employment, the Local Government Regulations requires
users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements.
Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user
awareness information. Your Retekess radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Retekess
user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to
control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
