Radiation Hazard

3.2 Radiation Hazard

The F77 antenna radiates 32 dBW EIRP (including 20 dBi antenna gain). This 
translates to a minimum safety distance of 4 m from the antenna while it is 

transmitting. This is based on a radiation level of 0.8 mW/cm

2

. The F55 

antenna has a safety distance of 2 m.

For higher radiation level, see the table below.
