Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The design of your radio, which generates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy, complies with the following national and international standards and
guidelines.
• FCC Report and Order FCC 96-326 (August, 1996)
• American National Standards Institute (C95-1-1992)
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP-1986)
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP-
1986)
• CENELEC
Env. 50166-11995E—Human exposure to Electromagnetic Fields Low
Frequency (0 Hz to 10 kHz)
Env. 50166-21995E—Human exposure to Electromagnetic Fields High
Frequency (10 kHz to 300 GHz)
Proceedings of SC211/8 1996—Safety Considerations for Human
Exposure to EME’s from Mobile Telecommunications Equipment (MTE)
in the Frequency Range 30 MHz to 6 GHz (EME-Electromagnetic Fields).
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines in the above standards, observe these procedures:

• For handheld operation, the radio should be held in a vertical position with
the microphone one to two inches away from the mouth, and the antenna
should be kept one to two inches from the head or body when transmitting.
• For body-worn operation, the antenna should be kept at least one inch from
the body when transmitting.
