2.3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The Multitone RPE/RPT500 Series Radio Paging Transmitter equipments, contain a low
power (5 Watts) transmitter and are intended for use with either an externally mounted
dipole antenna, or a “local” unity gain (or less) "desk-top" whip antenna.
The equipment’s performance may be characterized in accordance with the recommended MPE
requirements of the European Council Directive 1999/519/EC on the limitation of exposure of the
general public to electromagnetic fields (0Hz - 300GHz), as given in Annex III, Table 2; the
requirements of FCC 47CFR and Industry Canada Standard RSS102.
Where an installation is to be fitted with a "local" whip style antenna, the following criteria must
adhered to, in order to reduce and comply with the Electro-magnetic radiation absorption regulations.
Any equipment and antenna that is installed within an area normally populated whilst it is in
use, must be located in a position where people may not approach, or be located within 1m of
the radiating antenna, for periods in excess of 5 mins. in any 1 hour. This distance is calculated
to provide an additional safety margin for the product.
