Safety Considerations
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. Aironet products meet the
uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio
according to the instructions found in this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below the
FCC recommended limits.
•
Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
•
Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any
exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
•
Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment
unless it
is a type especially qualified for such use.
•
Do not operate radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected, if not, the radio may
be
damaged.
Dipole Antenna
Always orient antenna such that it is at least 15 cm
(6 inches) away from your body.
High Gain Antennas
High-gain, wall-mount or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should
be located at a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or more from your body. Please contact your
professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements.
Warning for Laptop User
In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure limits, it is recommended when using a laptop with a
Wireless LAN Adapter Card, that the Card’s integrated antenna should not be positioned closer than 5
cm (2 inches) from your body or nearby persons for extended periods of time while it is transmitting (or
operating). If the antenna is positioned less than 5 cm (2 inches) from the user, it is recommended that
the user limit exposure time.
