6.4 Emissions

6.4.1 Health and Safety

ESS GPR systems emit electromagnetic radiation from the radar sensor, the WiFi

adapter, and the Bluetooth adapter (if present). The electromagnetic radiation from ESS GPR

radar sensors is many times less than that from cellular telephones. ESS GPR systems can be

operated anywhere cellular telephones are permitted. The health and safety hazards posed by

ESS GPR systems are less than those posed by cellular telephones.
