    Cautions and Warnings The cautions and warnings that appear in this manual are listed below in English, German, French, and Spanish. Cautions A Caution calls your attention to a possible hazard that can damage equipment. "Vorsicht” weist auf die Gefahr einer möglichen Beschädigung des Gerätes in. Une mise en garde attire votre attention sur un risque possible d'endommagement de l'équi- pement.
  • Page 94 The radiated output power of the access points is well below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. However, the Fortinet Access Point should be used in such a manner that the potential for human con- tact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio fre- quency exposure limits, you should keep a distance of at least 20 cm between you (or any other person in the vicinity) and the Access Point antennas.
  • Page 95: Warnings

    Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
  • Page 96 Una advertencia le llama la atención sobre cualquier posible peligro que pueda ocasionar daños personales o la muerte. A continuación se dan las advertencias utilizadas en este man- ual. With plastic covers removed, this product is suitable for use in environmental air space in accordance with the Section 300-22(c) of the National Electric Code and Sections 2- 128.12 - 010 (3) and 12 - 100 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
