RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AND PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDE
Before using this radio, read this guide which contains important operating instructions for
safe usage and rf energy awareness and control for compliance with applicable standards
and regulations.
ATTENTION!
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.
Unauthorized modification and adjustment
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible 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 supervision of a person certified as technically qualified to perform transmitter maintenance and repairs
in the private land mobile and fixed services as certified by an organization representative of the user of those
services.
Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) not authorized by the local government
radio management departments equipment authorization for this radio could violate the rules.
FCC Requirements:
•This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
•(If applicable) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CE Requirements:
•(Simple EU declaration of conformity) Henan Eshow Electronic Commerce Co.,Ltd declares that the radio
equipment type is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of RED Directive
2014/53/EU and the ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU and the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU; the full text of the EU
declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.retekess.com.
•Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, literature, or packaging reminds you that in the

batteries) must be taken to designated collection locations at the end of their working life. Do not
dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste. Dispose of them according to the laws in your area.
IC Requirements:
Licence-exempt radio apparatus
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada's licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference.
(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

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:
• 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.
WARNING
• 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
