Getting Started and Product Document of Compliance for the Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Points
EMC Information
To ensure compliance with various national and international Electromagnetic Field (EMF) standards, the system should
only be operated with Cisco approved antennas and accessories.
This Device Meets International Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves
The IW6300 series device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were
developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed 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.
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 FCC Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves
The IW6300 series device 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 FCC Part 1.1310. The guidelines are based on
IEEE ANSI C 95.1 (92) and include a substantial safety margin designed 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.
The device has been tested and found compliant with the applicable regulations as part of the radio certification process.
The US Food and Drug Administration has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of wireless devices. The FCC recommends 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 the antennas at a greater
separation distance then recommended or lowering the transmitter power output.
This Device Meets the Industry Canada Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves
The IW6300 series device 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.
