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 licensee is to ensure that no bystanders

are within the radius limits.

1.4 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 licensee. Calculation of

the MPE radius is required as part of the site licensing procedure with the FCC.

1.5 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your MASTR

V 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 hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This base station is

not intended for use by the “general population” in an uncontrolled environment.

It is the responsibility of the base station licensee to ensure that the maximum

permissible exposure limits determined in the previous section are observed at all

times during transmission. The base station licensee is to ensure that no

bystanders come within the radius of the maximum permissible exposure 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 Harris base station 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:

 FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

 American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect

to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

 American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the

Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC

allowable limits for occupational use, do not operate the base station in a manner that

would create an MPE distance in excess of that allowable by the FCC.

This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Any changes or

modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Harris may cause harmful

interference and could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
