Safety Precautions

Warnings

Translated versions of the following safety warnings are provided in Appendix C.
Warning! In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, dipole antennas
should be located at a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.
Warning! Do not operate your wireless network device near unshielded blasting caps or in an
explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use.
Warning! Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity.
Warning! Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Warning! This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection.
Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international)
is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
Warning! Inside antennas must be positioned to observe minimum separation of 20 cm. (~ 8 in.)
from all users and bystanders. For the protection of personnel working in the vicinity of inside
(downlink) antennas, the following guidelines for minimum distances between the human body and
the antenna must be observed.
The installation of an INDOOR antenna must be such that, under normal conditions, all personnel
cannot come within 20 cm. (~ 8.0 in.) from any inside antenna. Exceeding this minimum separation
will ensure that the employee or bystander does not receive RF-exposure beyond the Maximum
Permissible Exposure according to FCC CFR 47, section 1.1310 i.e. limits for General
Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.
Warning! The Outside antenna must be positioned to observe minimum separation of 120 cm.
(approximately 4 feet) from all users and bystanders. For the protection of personnel working in the
vicinity of outside (uplink) antennas, the following guidelines for minimum distances between the
human body and the antenna must be observed.
The installation of an OUTDOOR antenna must be such that, under normal conditions, all personnel
cannot come within 120 cm. (~ 4 ft.) from the outside antenna. In all installations, the antenna should
never be mounted such that the main beam is directed toward an area where workers or bystanders
may be present. Exceeding this minimum separation will ensure that the worker or bystander does not
receive RF-exposure beyond the Maximum Permissible Exposure according to FCC CFR 47, section
1.1310 i.e. limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.
