Microwave Radiation Warnings
Radio Warning
Under normal operating conditions, Link CX radio equipment complies with the limits for human
exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All
interWAVE Communications, Inc. microwave radio equipment is designed so that under normal working
conditions, microwave radiation directly from the radio is negligible when compared with the
permissible limit of continuous daily exposure recommended in the United States by ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1991 (R1997), Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromag-
netic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
