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:

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 (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.
