Section 5. Cautions, Notes, and Approvals
•
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Part 15, Digital Device
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the
User’s Manual
, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.
No Modifications:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Information to the User:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
WARNING:
This device must be installed in a location that is not accessible to
the general public. Install the device so that the antenna is at least one (1) meter
from unsuspecting personnel. Failure to install this device as described will result
in a failure to comply with FCC rules for RF exposure and is discouraged.
Disclaimer:
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including this product, may interfere
with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device if you have any questions. Other electronic equipment may also
be subject to interference.
Radio Station Licensing:
In the United States, operation of this device by entities other than the
federal government agencies requires a radio station license issued by the FCC under Part 90 of its
Rules. Operation by federal agencies is subject to licensing by the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration. Operation in other countries is subject to national regulation.
Radio Frequency Emissions Exposure:
This device must be installed in licensed stations in such a
manner that the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits set forth in § 1.1310 of the FCC Rules
are met for both occupational/controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure.
The maximum duty cycle for this device shall not exceed 37% if operated in a manner consistent with
this manual. The combination of output power and antenna gain shall not exceed an effective radiated
power of 30 watts. All qualified end-users of this device must control their exposure conditions
and/or duration to comply with the occupational/controlled MPE limit and requirements. Users must
be provided with training information, antenna installation instructions, and transmitter operating
conditions, including antenna co-location requirements of §1.1307(b)(3) for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance
of at least 45 cm from trained authorized operators and 100 cm from all other persons. Never touch an
antenna that is transmitting or come closer to an active antenna than the distances specified in this
paragraph. A qualified technician should perform all repairs.
