These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All Hytera radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.

RF exposure decreases with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be kept away from the face and eyes. When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera-approved holder, holster, case, or body harness or by use of the correct clip for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed the FCC's occupational/controlled environmental RF exposure limits.
