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 susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
RF Exposure Information
• 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.
• DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as
hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
• Portable Device, this transmitter may operate with the antenna(s) documented in this filing in
Push-to-Talk and body-worn configurations. RF exposure compliance is limited to the specific
belt-clip and accessory configurations as documented in this filing and the separation distance
between user and the device or its antenna shall be at least 2.5 cm.
• Mobile Device, during operation, the separation distance between user and the antenna subjects
to actual regulations, this separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a
properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements.
• Occupational/Controlled Radio, this radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational/Controlled
Use Only", meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of
the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards; NOT intended for use in a General population
/uncontrolled environment.
• General population/uncontrolled Radio, this radio is designed for and classified as "General
population/uncontrolled Use".
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
07
Guidelines:
• 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.
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. Using approved body-worn accessories
is important because the use of Non-Retevis approved accessories may result in exposure levels,
which exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP RF exposure limits.
Hand-held Mode
• Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other parts of the
radio including the antenna) at least 2.5 cm (one inch) away from the nose or
lips. The antenna should be kept away from the eyes. Keeping the radio at a
proper distance is important as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance
from the antenna.
Phone Mode
• When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio product as you would a wireless telephone.
Speak directly into the microphone.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inade-
quately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Avoid Choking Hazard
Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Turn off your radio power in the following conditions:
• Turn off your radio before removing (installing) a battery or accessory or when
charging battery.
• Turn off your radio when you are in a potentially hazardous environments: Near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, in explosive atmospheres (inflammable
gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).
WARNING
• Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts
• Turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so,
