exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated equipment. HYT subscribes to the same safety standard for the use of
its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in user exposure far below
the Occupational Safety and Health Act(OSHA) AND federal Communications
