EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy.
Over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry, after
reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of your Telular Telguard TG-5 complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF
exposure even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to install the unit in a manner that locates
its antenna at an even greater distance from the general public than is recommended as a minimum by the standard.
To insure compliance with the standard, when selecting a mounting location for your Telguard TG-5 do not mount
it (or its associated antenna) in an area where the general public could reasonably be within 8 inches (20
centimeters) of the antenna.
EFFICIENT OPERATION
Do not operate your Telular product when holding the antenna. Be sure to mount the unit such that its antenna is a
minimum of eight (8) inches (20 centimeters) is maintained from the general public.
For the best service quality, keep the antenna free from obstructions and point the antenna straight up.
ANTENNA CARE AND REPLACEMENT
Do not use the unit with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn
may result. Have your antenna replaced by a qualified technician immediately. Use only a manufacturer-approved
antenna. Non-approved antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair service quality, damage the Telguard
and violate FCC regulations.
