Pre-installation Considerations
Regulatory Warnings
FCC Guidelines
It is the responsibility of the installer and users of the Harmony 802.11a Access Point
to guarantee that the antenna is operated at least 20 centimeters from any person.
This is necessary to insure that the product is operated in accordance with the RF
Guidelines for Human Exposure which have been adopted by the Federal
Communications Commission.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
The Harmony 802.11a Access Point Models 8569 and 8570 operate in the frequency
range of 5.15 to 5.35 GHz; they are restricted to indoor use due to their operation in the
5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC 15.407(e) requires that these devices be used
indoors in the frequency range of 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. Therefore the devices should be
used indoor only for channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 and when 2X mode is enabled,
channels 42 and 50. The Harmony 802.11a Access Point Model 8571 operates in the
frequency range of 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and is not subject to the above restriction.
