RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE
Before using this radio, read this guide which cont-ains important operating
instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for compliance
with applicable standards and regulations.
This radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications 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.
Radio License (if appropriate)
Governments keep the radios in classification, business radios operate on radio
frequencies that are regulated by the local radio management departments (FCC, ISED, OFCOM,
ANFR, BFTK, Bundesnetzagentur...).To transmit on these frequencies, you are required to have a
license issued by them. The detailed classification and the use of your radios, please contact the
local government radio management departments. Use of this radio outside the country where it was
intended to be distributed is subject to government regulations and may be prohibited.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party respon-sible for compliance may void
the user's authority granted by the local government radio management departments to operate this
radio and should not be made. To comply with the corresponding requirements, transmitter
adjustments should be made only by or under the supervi-sion of a person certified as technically
qualified to perform transmitter maintenance and repairs in the
services
as certified by an organization representative of the user of those services.Replacement of any
