RF radiation information
This product is intended for professional applications that meet RF radiation requirements. Users must be aware
of the hazards of RF radiation and take appropriate measures to meet the requirements of RF radiation limit.
Common sense in RF radiation
RF refers to the electromagnetic frequency that can be radiated into space. It is a technology widely used in the
fields of communication, medical treatment and food processing. It will produce some RF radiation during use.
Control and operating instructions of RF radiation
In order to maximize the performance of the product and to ensure compliance with the radiation limits in the
relevant occupational or controlled environment of the above criteria, the sending time shall not exceed 50% of
the rated factor and shall follow the instructions below:
• RF radiation is generated only during transmission (speech) rather than reception (listening) and standby.
• The distance between the terminal and the body during transmission should be at least 2.5 cm.
