Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
updated RF energy exposure guidelines for wireless products regulated by the
FCC. These guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of your MICOM-2E
two-way radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these standards:
• 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).
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines in the above standards, install antennas correctly, following
recommended installation procedures.
Transmit only when people are 1 to 3 feet away from the properly installed,
antenna; distance guidelines for different power levels are:
Rated power of radio Distance of people from
transmitting antenna
15 W or less 1 Foot
16 to 50 W 2 Feet
Over 50 W 3 Feet
