Generic Discussion on RF Exposure
The Cisco products are designed to comply with the following national and international standards on Human Exposure to
Radio Frequencies:
•
US 47 Code of Federal Regulations Part 2 Subpart J
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers / IEEE C 95.1 (99)
•
International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 98
•
Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits on Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields in the range from 3kHz
to 300 GHz
•
Australia Radiation Protection Standard
To ensure compliance with various national and international Electromagnetic Field (EMF) standards, the system should only
be operated with Cisco approved antennas and accessories.
This Device Meets International Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves
The 700W series device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an
independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user. It is recommended to
set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum distance as specified from the user in accordance
to the regulatory guidelines which are designed to reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for the use of wireless devices. They recommend that if you are interested in further reducing your exposure then
you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the user or placing he antennas at a greater separation distance then
recommended.
This Device Meets FCC Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves
The 700W series device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) as referenced in FCC Part 1.1310. The guidelines are based on IEEE ANSI C 95.1
(92) and include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user. It is recommended to
set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum distance as specified from the user in accordance
to the regulatory guidelines which are designed to reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator.
The device has been tested and found compliant with the applicable regulations as part of the radio certification process.
The US Food and Drug Administration has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for the use of wireless devices. The FCC recommends that if you are interested in further reducing your exposure
then you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the user or placing the antennas at a greater separation distance
then recommended or lowering the transmitter power output.
