HUMAN EXPOSURE STATEMENT
This equipment is designed to generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) energy using an
external antenna.
When terminated into a non-radiating RF load, the radio is certified to comply with FCC
regulations pertaining to human exposure to RF radiation in accordance with the FCC
Rules Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code of federal regulations and
procedures established in TIA/EIA TSB92, Report on EME Evaluation for RF Cabinet
Emissions Under FCC MPE Guidelines. Compliance with FCC regulations of the final
installation should be assessed and take into account site-specific characteristics such
as type and location of antennas, as well as site accessibility of occupational personnel
(controlled environment) and the general public (uncontrolled environment). This
equipment should only be installed and maintained by trained technicians. Whether a
given installation meets FCC limits for human exposure to radio frequency radiation may
depend not only on this equipment but also on whether the environments being
assessed are being affected by radio frequency fields from other equipment, which may
add to the level of exposure. Accordingly, the overall exposure may be affected by radio
frequency generating facilities that exist at the time the licensee's equipment is being
installed or even by equipment installed later. The effects of any such facilities must be
considered in site selection and in determining whether a particular installation meets
the FCC requirements.
FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in making determinations if a given facility
is compliant with the human exposure to RF radiation limits. Determining the compliance of
transmitter sites of various complexities may be accomplished through computational
methods. For more complex sites, direct measurement of the power density may be more
expedient. Personnel responsible for installing this equipment are urged to consult the listed
reference material to assist in determining whether a given installation complies with the
applicable limits.
In general, the following guidelines should be observed when working in or around radio
transmitter sites:
•
All personnel should have electromagnetic energy awareness training
•
All personnel entering the site must be authorized
•
Obey all posted signs
•
Assume all antennas are active
•
Before working on antennas, notify owners and disable appropriate transmitters
•
Maintain minimum 3 feet clearance from all antennas
•
Do not stop in front of antennas
•
Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas
•
Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation
•
Do not operate Base Station antennas in equipment rooms
