These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. FCC PART 90 AND PART 101 REQUIREMENTS This device contains a radio transceiver which operates under Parts 90.210 and 101.101 of the FCC rules in a licensed part of the radio spectrum. It is the user's responsibility to obtain required licensing and authorization to operate this device. Qualified personnel must perform service or repairs to the radio portion of this device. Any unauthorized modification to the radio module, shielding, or antenna system may void the user's authority to operate this device. RF EXPOSURE WARNING All antenna installation and servicing is to be performed by qualified technical personnel only. When servicing or working at distances closer than 10 feet (3.05 meters), ensure the transmitter has been disabled. Depending upon the application and the gain of the antenna, the total composite power could exceed 200 watts EIRP. The antenna location should be such that only qualified technical personnel can access it, and under normal operating conditions no other person can come in contact or approach within 10 feet (3.05 meters) of the antenna. This device complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: • • • • • • • United States Federal Communications Commission, 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992 Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998 Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6.

CAUTIONS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER NOTES AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION, EXCEPT WARNINGS. WARNING HIGHLIGHTED IN BOLD, UPPERCASE TYPE AND APPLIES TO SAFE AND RELIABLE OPERATION OF SAFETRAN EQUIPMENT. WARNINGS ALWAYS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER NOTES, CAUTIONS, AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION. Refer all questions to Safetran Customer Service. iv COM-00-09-08 REVISION A ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry, particularly low voltage components such as the integrated circuits commonly used throughout the electronics industry. Therefore, procedures have been adopted industry-wide which make it possible to avoid the sometimes invisible damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) during the handling, shipping, and storage of electronic modules and components. Safetran has instituted these practices at its manufacturing facility and encourages its customers to adopt them as well to lessen the likelihood of equipment damage in the field due to ESD. Some of the basic protective practices include the following: • Ground yourself before touching card cages, modules, or components. • Remove circuit boards (modules) from card cages by the ejector lever only. • Handle circuit boards by the edges only. • Never physically touch the circuit board contact fingers or allow these fingers to come in contact with an insulator (e.g., plastic, rubber, etc.). • When not in use, place circuit boards in approved static-shielding bags, contact fingers first. Remove circuit boards from static-shielding bags by grasping the ejector lever or the edge of the board only. Each bag should include a caution label on the outside indicating staticsensitive contents. • Cover workbench surfaces used for repair of electronic equipment with static dissipative workbench matting. • Use integrated circuit extractor/inserter tools designed to remove and install electrostaticsensitive integrated circuit devices such as PROMs (OK Industries, Inc., Model EX-2 Extractor and Model MOS-40 Inserter (or equivalent) are highly recommended). • Utilize only anti-static cushioning material in equipment shipping and storage containers. For information concerning ESD material applications, please contact the Safetran California Division Technical Support Staff in Ranch Cucamonga, California. ESD Awareness Classes and additional ESD product information are also available through the Technical Support Staff.
