Section 7: Important Safety Information
This user guide contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your Network Extender for Business.
General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your Network Extender for Business properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
•
Avoid exposing your Network Extender for Business to rain or liquid spills. If your device does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the power connector.
•
Do not operate the Network Extender for Business in an extremely dusty or humid environment.
•
Avoid placing the Network Extender for Business near radiators or other heating sources.
•
Do not obstruct the heat vents by blocking the openings or covering the Network Extender for Business, and do not operate it in a confined space.
•
Avoid locating the Network Extender for Business where it could be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
•
Do not connect the Network Extender for Business to a power strip containing an excessive number of other devices. Refer to the documentation that came with your power strip for capacity information.
•
Do not disassemble the wireless antenna.
•
Do not attempt to open the Network Extender for Business or power supply, or dissemble either component, or remove the wireless antenna. You run the risk of electrical shock and/or burn and voiding the limited warranty. No
user-serviceable parts are located within the Network Extender for Business enclosure.
•
If the Network Extender for Business will not be used for a prolonged period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
•
Although your Network Extender for Business is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
•
Any changes or modifications to your Network Extender for Business not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Warning!:
You may not be able to make 911 calls in the event of an electrical power outage, broadband connection failure, or other service disruption. 911 services may be limited in areas outside of the Verizon Wireless network. Not all
public safety answering points have location-based E911 technology. Always be prepared to report your location to the 911 operator when placing an emergency call. Mobile phones operate using radio signals which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions.
Using Your Network Extender for Business Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from your Network Extender for Business may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
Conversely, ensure the unit is placed at least 2 feet away from products which generate electromagnetic radiation, such as a computer monitor or microwave oven.
Note:
For the best care of your Network Extender for Business, ensure that only authorized personnel service your device. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Network Extender for Business Operates
Your Network Extender for Business functions as a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your Network Extender for
Business, the system handling your call controls the power level.
This power can range from 10 microwatt to 30 milliwatts.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Network Extender for Business complies with updated NCRP standards described below:
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human
exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available
body of research.
In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard
and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number: A3LSCS-2U01.
FCC Statement
This product has been tested and complies with the specifications for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used according to the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which is found by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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.
FCC Caution
: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Important Note.
