2.1. Safety Information
2.1.1. Safety Information for DragonWave’s AirPair
TM
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted
a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC-certified equipment. DragonWave AirPair
TM
meets the uncontrolled environmental limits
found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the
instructions found in this manual and the users guide for the DragonWave AirPair
TM
product will
result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
• Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
• While transmitting, do not hold any component containing the radio in
such a way that the antenna is very close to or touching any exposed
parts of the body, especially the face or eyes.
• Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in
an explosive environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such
use.
The design of the high-gain mast mount antennas is such that professional installation is
required.
