Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum for communication. RF energy is a form of electromagnetic energy. 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, including substantial margins of protection.

All RADTEL two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to meet government-established RF exposure levels. Manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users. These instructions are important for informing users about RF energy exposure and providing simple procedures on how to control it.

For more information on RF energy exposure and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits, please refer to: http://www.who.int/en/

Regulations and Licenses

Local Government Regulations

When two-way radios are used for employment, Local Government Regulations require users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. This awareness can be facilitated by product labels directing users to specific information. The Radtel two-way radio includes an RF Exposure Product Label, and the user manual or safety booklet provides instructions for controlling RF exposure and satisfying compliance requirements.

Radio License

Governments classify radios. Most classified walkie-talkies require a local government license for operation. For specific classifications like USA/CA FRS, Australian CB, and EU PMR446, an individual license is not required.

FCC ID

The FCC ID indicates compliance with IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen. It is approved for occupational use only.

IC ID

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Safety Precautions and Warnings

⚠️ Only use this equipment for its intended purpose. The manufacturer and salesperson are not responsible for warranty invalidation due to inadequate use.

This equipment has no user-repairable components. Always consult an Authorized Technical Service for any repair.

Do not put into operation or turn off the equipment by installing or removing the battery pack. Always use the ON/OFF control.

Install the battery pack and accessories correctly according to the manual's indications.

• Never transmit with a damaged antenna.
• Do not transmit for extended periods.
• Do not touch the antenna with your hand or body while transmitting.
• In case of malfunction (e.g., burnt smell, smoke), immediately turn off the equipment or disconnect the battery charger and consult Technical Service.
• Do not insert any object into the speaker holes or transceiver connectors.
• If using an external headset (optional), reduce the volume to the lowest possible level to avoid very high audio levels.
• Do not expose the equipment or battery charger to water, direct sunlight for extended periods, heat sources (radiators), blows, excessive dust or dirt, fire, or explosive conditions. Do not store the transceiver in a vehicle parked in direct sunlight.
• Avoid humidity condensation. If condensation occurs, clean with a dry cloth and wait for it to dry before powering on.
• Do not place objects on the transceiver that could spill onto it.
• If the transceiver causes interference with video recorders, DVD players, radios, televisions, or other electronic equipment, move it away from the affected apparatus.
• Do not use this transceiver near other electronic equipment, especially medical equipment, as it can cause interference.
• Turn off and do not use the equipment in restricted or prohibited areas (e.g., coal gas areas, explosion atmospheres, areas that can interfere with other equipment, on board airships, airports).
• Do not operate this transceiver while driving. Use hands-free systems ("VOX" function) and obey traffic regulations.
• Clean the equipment and/or battery charger when OFF, using an antistatic cloth (preferred) or a humid (not wet) cloth.
• Do not spray liquids directly onto the transceiver, battery pack, or charger. Never use household polishes, detergents, alcohol, or solvents for cleaning.
• Using a dry cloth might cause static.
• Using incompatible accessories may limit operation or cause damage, invalidating the guarantee.
