Always keep the antenna with minimum safety distance of 20 cm or more from human body. Do not put the
antenna inside metallic box, containers, etc.
RF exposure statements
1. For mobile devices without co-location (the transmitting antenna is installed or located more than 20cm
away from the body of user and nearby person)
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the
radiator and human body.
