Guidelines for Limiting RF Exposure
The
Redhawk II
products are GSM radio transceivers, which operate under the
authority of 47 CFR Part 24, Subpart E of the FCC Rules and Regulations. When
installed and operated in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual,
these devices comply with current FCC regulations regarding human exposure to
radio frequency - electromagnetic fields.
The following installation and operation restrictions apply to all
Redhawk II
products:
!
These devices may only be used in fixed and mobile applications
!
Portable applications, as defined by the FCC, are prohibited
!
A separation distance of at least 20 cm (7 7/8) inches between the antenna and
body of the user and other persons must be maintained at all times
!
In FIXED applications antenna gain* is limited to a maximum of 7 dBi, with a
corresponding equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of 37 dBm / 5 W
!
In MOBILE applications antenna gain* is limited to a maximum of 3 dBi, with a
corresponding equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of 33 dBm / 3 W
!
Desktop and other uses of these devices where the antenna can easily be relocated
are considered by the FCC to be mobile applications.
* Antenna gain is defined as gain in dBi (dB referenced to an isotropic radiator) minus cabling loss.
NOTE: Additional care must be taken by the installer and/or user of the
Redhawk II
TM
products to ensure proper antenna selection and installation.
Adherence to the above conditions is necessary to comply with FCC
