10.1 Radio Frequency Exposure and Emission

The MTw contains a small radio transmitter and receiver. During communication with the

Awinda Station it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields

(microwaves) in the frequency range 2400 of 2500 MHz (IEEE 802.15.4 PHY compliant). The

output power of the radio transmitter is very low. When using the system, you will be

exposed to some of the transmitted RF energy. This exposure is well below the prescribed

limits in all national and international RF safety standards and regulations.

Most modern electronic equipment, for example, in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF

energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not.

Therefore:

Note: This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band.

Please insure that all medical devices used in proximity to this device meet appropriate

susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy (CE or FCC marked).

Turn off this electronic device before entering an area with potentially explosive

atmosphere. It is very rare, but any electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such

areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a

potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include

fuelling areas, such as petrol station, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or

storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,

or metal powders.
