2.1. Safety Information
2.1.1. Safety Information for DragonWave’s AirPairTM
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in ET Docket
96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. DragonWave
AirPairTM meets the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and
ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions
found in this manual and the users guide for the DragonWave AirPairTM product
will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended
limits.
• Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or
receiving.
• While transmitting, do not hold any component containing the
radio in such a way that the antenna is very close to or touching
any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes.
• Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting
caps or in an explosive environment unless it is a type especially
qualified for such use.
The design of the high-gain mast mount antennas is such that professional
installation is required.
