In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and
Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines

both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design

international standards.
Never allow children to operate the radio without adult
supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines.
