Operational Safety Notices

 

The radio equipment described in this guide emits radio frequency 
energy. Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from 
a directional antenna may pose a health hazard. When using a gain 
antenna of 8 dBi (350-512 MHz) or 12 dBi (800-960 MHz), do not allow 
people to come closer than 0.5 meters to the front of the antenna when 
the transmitter is operating. Using higher gain antennas would mean 
increasing this distance accordingly.

This manual is intended to guide a professional installer to install, 
operate and perform basic system maintenance on the described radio.
