Such levels might become an <br /> issue for maintenance or other personnel For this or any other consumer publication in an <br /> accessible format(electronic ASCII text, Braille,large print <br /> working on the rooftop. Exposures exceeding or audio)please write or call us at the address or phone <br /> the guidelines levels, however, are only likely to number below, or send an email to FCC5040fcc.pov. <br /> be encountered very close to, and directly in <br /> front of, the antennas.
