The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for
any special precautions for the use of wireless devices. They recommend that if you are interested in further
reducing your exposure then you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the user or placing he
antennas at a greater separation distance then recommended.
This Device Meets the Industry Canada Guidelines for Exposure
to Radio Waves
The Cisco Beacon Point Module includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) as referenced in Health Canada
Safety Code 6. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed into the limit to ensure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health.
As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user. It is
recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum distance as
specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines which are designed to reduce the overall
exposure of the user or operator.

Health Canada states that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions
for the use of wireless devices. They recommend that if you are interested in further reducing your exposure
you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the user, placing the antennas at a greater separation
distance than recommended, or lowering the transmitter power output.
Cet appareil est conforme aux directives internationales en
matière d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques
Cet appareil de la gamme Cisco Beacon Point Module comprend un émetteur-récepteur radio. Il a été conçu
de manière à respecter les limites en matière d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (champs
électromagnétiques de fréquence radio), recommandées dans le code de sécurité 6 de Santé Canada. Ces
directives intègrent une marge de sécurité importante destinée à assurer la sécurité de tous, indépendamment
de l'âge et de la santé.
Par conséquent, les systèmes sont conçus pour être exploités en évitant que l'utilisateur n'entre en contact avec
les antennes. Il est recommandé de poser le système là où les antennes sont à une distance minimale telle que
précisée par l'utilisateur conformément aux directives réglementaires qui sont conçues pour réduire l'exposition
générale de l'utilisateur ou de l'opérateur.
