operations. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the limits imposed by the applicable
regulatory agency (Federal Communications Commission, FCC, or CE) with regard to Maximum
Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) and Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) are not
violated. These limits are described in the following sections.
