RF Radiation Information
This product must be restricted to operations in an
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment.
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.
RF Radiation Prole
Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic
radiation in the range at which radio signals are
transmitted. RF technology is widely used in
communication, medicine, food processing and other
elds. It may generate radiation during use.
RF Radiation Safety
In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant
industries including science, engineering, medicine and
health work with international organizations to develop
standards for safe exposure to RF radiation. These
standards consist of:
●United States Federal Communications
Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR
part 2 sub-part J;
●American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992;
●Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1-1999;
●International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998;
FCC Regulations
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requires
that all radio communication products should meet the
requirements set forth in the above standards before
they can be marketed in the U.S, and the manufacturer
shall post a RF label on the product to inform users
of operational instructions, so as to enhance their
occupational health against exposure to RF energy.
Operational Instructions and Training
Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with
the occupational/controlled environment RF energy
exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines,
users should transmit not more than 50% of the time
and always adhere to the following procedures:
●RF energy will be generated only when the radio
is transmitting.
●The radio must be at least 2.5 centimeters away
from human body when transmitting.
