1 REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS
DO NOT TRANSMIT with this base station and antenna when persons are within the MAXIMUM
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Radius of the antenna. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance
from the antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the
allowable MPE level set by the FCC.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW ALL PERSONS
WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION
ABSORPTION, WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BASE
STATION OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING BASE
STATION TRANSMISSION. THE BASE STATION OPERATOR IS TO
ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS ARE WITHIN THE RADIUS LIMITS.
1.2
1.3
DETERMINING MPE RADIUS
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE RADIUS is unique for each site and is determined
during site licensing time based on the complete installation environment (i.e. co-location, antenna type,
transmit power level, etc.). Determination of the MPE distance is the responsibility of the installation
license. Calculation of the MPE radius is required as part of the site licensing procedure with the FCC.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
YOUR M/A-COM MASTR
®
III BASE STATION GENERATES RF
ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY DURING TRANSMIT MODE. THIS BASE
STATION IS DESIGNED FOR AND CLASSIFIED AS “OCCUPATIONAL USE
ONLY” MEANING IT MUST BE USED ONLY IN THE COURSE OF
EMPLOYMENT BY INDIVIDUALS AWARE OF THE HAZARDOUS RF
ENERGY AND THE WAYS TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE. THIS BASE
STATION IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY THE “GENERAL
POPULATION” IN AN UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LICENSEE TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES
DURING TRANSMISSION. THE BASE STATION OPERATOR IS TO
ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE
LIMITS
When licensed by the FCC, this base station complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are
beyond the MPE radius of the antenna. In addition, your M/A-COM base stations installation complies
with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels
and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
