fixed unit, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure
optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards and
guidelines listed in the 6881095C99 manual:
• The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the

compliance actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in
order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.
