Another reference document on this topic is a DOT
publication entitled "Field Strength Measurements of Speed
Measuring Radar Units" (NHTSA Technical Report #DOT-
HS-805 928). This report documents a series of tests
performed by the National Bureau of Standards on twenty-
two commonly used models of traffic radar units, from six
different manufacturers including Kustom. Aperture power
density levels measured were from 0.25 to 2.82 mW/cm²,
while back-lobe power density values ranged from 0.001 to
0.02 mW/cm². These measurements were obtained with
the radars mounted inside vehicles, as in normal operating
conditions. Since the NBS study, other laboratories have
duplicated these types of measurements, producing
consistently similar results.

While traffic radar devices do emit microwave energy, the
levels are so low that there are no probable harmful effects.
You may use your Kustom radar unit with complete
confidence in its safety, as well as in its accuracy.
