In other words, we can't vouch for anyone else's holster so if you want to "maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines" use ours. What's so special about theirs? Unless it's shielded - Nada.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure that the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.
Translation: don't rest the antenna against your head. Sensible enough. Interesting, though. Are they or the FCC stating that you should not put your cellphone in your pocket? Loops or anyone know? That's how I read it.
It really is better to be safe than sorry in this case. Ask any radiologist if they would vouch for putting any equipment like a phone or a laptop by your testes or ovaries for extended periods of time. We don't like getting sued by the way so good luck.
Agreed. As I've told my wife many times, litigation drives extreme caution, hence the myriad rules enacted by many work-places.
On another thread we briefly talked about rooftop access to buildings. Ask a lawyer or risk manager if you should allow public access to a rooftop and invariably you'll be told "No." regardless of what odds there may be of an actual incident.
