RF Radiation Information
RF Radiation Profile
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 fields. 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:
¾ United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations;
47CFR part 2 sub-part J;

4
¾ American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992;
¾ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1 – 1999;
¾ 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.
As a conscientious company centering on users, Hytera strictly complies with the forgoing
requirements from design, production and test.
