WARNING --

DO NOT LOOK INTO THE OUTPUT PORT OF THE POWERED RF AMPLIFIER.
Treat the powered amplifier with extreme care. Keep in mind that levels of microwave radiation
that do not induce immediate physical discomfort in most individuals can be sufficiently high to
induce longer-term effects. Your eyes are particularly vulnerable parts of your body.
The permissible levels of exposure are quite low compared to the power levels of the amplifiers
built by Advantech (e.g. less than 10 mW versus 20 to 500 W delivered by various units). The
permissible levels are currently being studied by a number of organizations. In the past the U.S.
safety Code established a dosage rate of 10 mW/cm
2
. Currently there is consideration being
given to reducing the permissible level to 1 mW/cm
2
in the United States, as has been the case
for several European countries.
