ANTENNA SAFETY
MPE (Maximum Permissible Exposure) minimum distance for CB antennas used
with this radio:
The antenna used with this transceiver must be properly installed and
maintained and must provide a safe separation distance from all persons and
the antenna must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
For example: an antenna with a gain of O dBi requires a minimum safe
separation distance of 12 inches (31 cm) from all persons. Never transmit if any
person is closer than the minimum separation distance to the antenna.
For antennas with higher gain figures please follow the antenna manufacturer's
recommendation for minimum safe separation distance or MPE distance.
