Antenna spacing requirements for user safety

It is important to keep the radio’s antenna a safe distance from the user. To meet the requirements

of FCC part 2.1091 for radio frequency radiation exposure, this radio must be used in such a way as to

guarantee at least 20 cm between the antenna and users. Greater distances are required for high-gain

antennas; for more details, see the Choosing the Antennas section. The FCC requires a minimum

distance of 1 mW *cm

power density from the user (or 20 cm, whichever is greater).

The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does

not emit RF fields in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6,

obtainable from Health Canada.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen

that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful

communication.
