RF Radiation Hazard
The antenna transmits up to 22 watts of radio frequency (RF) energy that is potentially harmful. Whenever the system is powered on, make sure everyone stays more than 42 feet (13 m) away from the antenna. The minimum safe distance increases to 101 feet (31 m) if a person is more than 6.5 feet (2 m) above the plane of the antenna’s base. No hazard exists directly below the antenna.
