• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 2005), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. • American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 2002), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave. • I EEE Standard 1528-2003.
Important ! CAUTION! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. The use of non-Olympia battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.
