In 1991 th e In stitute of Electrical an d Electron ics Engin eers (IEEE), an d in 1992 th e Am erican Nation al Stan dards In stitute
(ANSI), updated th e 1982 ANSI Stan dard for safety levels with respect to h um an exposure to RF en ergy. Over 120 scien tists,
en gin eers, an d ph ysician s from un iversities, govern m en t h ealth agen cies, an d in dustry, after reviewin g th e available body of
research , developed th is updated Stan dard. In March , 1993, th e Federal Com m un ication s Com m ission (FCC) proposed th e
adoption of th is updated Stan dard.
Motorola subscribes to th e sam e safety stan dard for th e use of its products. Proper operation of th is radio will result in user
