Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
This two way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All RADTEL two-way 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 two-way 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 two-way 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 Retevis two way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Retevis user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Radio License Governments keep the radios in classification, most of the classified walkie-talkies need to get local government License, and operation is allowed. The detailed classification and the use of your two radios, please contact the local government radio management departments. For the following specified classification: the USA/CA FRS, Australian CB, EU PMR446, the individual license is not required.
FCC ID The FCC ID means: This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is approved for occupational use only.
IC ID This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2)This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device The CE marking means: Hereby, Xiamen Radtel Electronics Co.,Ltd declares that the radio equipment type is in compliance with the RED Directive 2014/53/EU and the ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU and the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.

Before a new model is a available for sale to the public,it must be tested and certified to the FCC/ISEDC that it does not exceed the exposure limnit established by the FCC/ISEDC. Tests for each product are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC/ISEDC. For body-worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC/ISEDC RF exposure guidelines when used with an acessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that Contains no metal. To maintain compliance with the FCC/ISEDC’s RF exposure guidelines, hold the transmitter and antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face. This equipment complies with FCC/ISEDC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment In order to comply with the FCC/ISEDC RF exposure requirements, the antenna installation must comply with the following;
- Users must be fully aware of the hazards of the exposure and able to exercise control over their
- RF exposure to qualify for the higher exposure limits.
- Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. This product sends out radio frequency (RF) signals when the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pressed.
- The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%.
- This device complies with ISEDC licence-exempt RSS standard (s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

CB radio frequency is 27mhz, the walkie-talkie works in 462/467mhz FRS frequency, so it will not work
No, this is an original radios
No, this is an original radio
when “Side key 2 ” in the software is programmed to scan function, long press the side key – for 2 s to enter into scan mode.
firstly switch to channel 16 and power off, press and hold the POWER and CH+ button at the same time until it switches to English
