3.2 Safety Precautions
PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
3.2.1 RF Energy Health Hazard
Please pay attention to the following warnings:
When servicing equipment and selecting a location for the ABMAX antennas, it is important to note
that a minimum distance of 38 cm (15 inches) is required between personnel and ABMAX
antennas to comply with a radio-frequency exposure limit of 1.0mW/cm2.
Professional installation required. The radio equipment described in this guide uses radio
frequency transmitters. Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a
directional antenna may pose a health hazard. ABMAX integrated antennas are 16dBi.
3.2.2 Connection Sequence Caution
Arcing may occur when connecting the outdoor Ethernet cable to either the Access Point or the
NIA should the power be connected to the NIA. Arcing may irrevocably damage the NIA or the
Access Point. To prevent any chance of damage from occurring, verify that the power is
disconnected from the NIA before attempting to connect the interconnecting cable to either the
Access Point or NIA.
