Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)

Warning

For optimal radio performance and minimal human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy, you must ensure that the antenna is:

  • connected to the radio before transmitting

  • located where it will be away from people

  • located at least 2.21 meters (7.25 ft) from the radio’s main unit.

Failure to observe these guidelines may expose those within the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius to RF radiation absorption that exceeds the FCC MPE limit.

It is the radio operator’s responsibility to ensure that no person comes within this MPE radius.
