Carrying the unit

with the unit in a holster, dangling from a lanyard, or with any
method that keeps the powered unit in very close proximity to the
head or torso. For safe operation, carry the unit in your hand with
the antennas located at least 20 cm (~8 inches) from the head or
torso. See the following illustration for the correct and incorrect
way to operate the unit.
