when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
radiotelephone generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
radiotelephone in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own

RF exposure compliance (MPE* compliance by FCC)
The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to
provide a separation distance of at least 0.9 meters (3 feet)
from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users
and installers must be provided with antenna installation
instructions and transmitting operating conditions for
satisfying RF exposure compliance.
* Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE): The rms and peak electric
and magnetic field strength, their squares, or the plane-wave
equivalent power densities associated with these fields to which a
person may be exposed without harmful effect and with an acceptable
safety factor.
