RF energy exposure standards and guidelines (if
appropriate)
Your Retevis walkie talkie complies with the following
RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2
sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) /
Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95. 1-2005
• IEEE Std. 1528:2013 and KDB447498, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.3-2002
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP)
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6 & Industry

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines
and Operating Instructions
• 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.
• Non‐compliance with the
• following restrictions may result in violation of RF
exposure guidelines.
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
body,
always place the radio in a Retevis approved clip,
holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product.
•
•
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 are kept 2.5 cm (one inch) from the head 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)
atleast 2.5cm
