2.2 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of
national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is
authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the
FCC exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR
§§ 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999.
CAUTION
Table 2-1 lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for a controlled environment
and for unaware bystanders in an uncontrolled environment, from transmitting types of
antennas (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at rated radio power for
mobile radios installed in a vehicle. Transmit only when unaware bystanders are at least
the uncontrolled recommended minimum lateral distance away from the transmitting
antenna.
