FCC RF exposure requirements for transmitting devices. A minimum separation distance
of 2 meter or more must be maintained between the antenna and all persons during device
operations to ensure compliance with the FCC’s rules for Radio Frequency Exposure. If
this minimum distance cannot be maintained, exposure to RF levels that exceed the
FCC’s limits may result.
