Using the formula for minimum safety distances and the appropriate information
for each factor, safety distances can be calculated as in the following calculations
(Table 2) for a particular environment.
Table 1. Description for distance calculations in controlled and uncontrolled
environments
Limit Description
Minimum Distance in Controlled
Environments*
The minimum distances are calculated
using the reference levels for power density
as presented in the CENELEC
prestandard; f/40 W/m2, in the frequency
range 400 to 2000 MHz, averaged over any
6 min. time interval. This is in agreement
with other guidelines (IEEE/ANSI, IRPA,
NCRP, FCC) or stricter.
Minimum Distance in Uncontrolled
Environments*
The minimum distances are calculated
using the reference levels for power density
as presented in the CENELEC
prestandard; f/200 W/m2, in the frequency
range 400 to 2000 MHz, averaged over any
6 min. time interval. This is in agreement
with other guidelines (IEEE/ANSI, IRPA,
NCRP, FCC) or stricter.
* Controlled environments refer to locations where there is exposure to persons aware
of the potential exposure. Uncontrolled environments refer to locations where there is
exposure to persons not aware of the potential exposure and who have no control over
it.

Cautions
DN98621958 © Nokia Corporation Internal Copy 25 (30)
Issue 3-0 en Nokia Proprietary and Confidential
The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station contains electro-static sensitive
devices, which means that they may be permanently damaged by electro-static
discharges encountered in routine handling, testing and transportation. The Nokia
MetroSite EDGE Base Station is labelled with an electro-static sensitive device
symbol as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Electro-static sensitive device label
Electro-static discharges are caused by direct contact or by an electro-static field.
If a charged body approaches an electrically conducting surface, the acquired
potential is discharged. An equalizing current can then flow in the associated
circuitry and generate permanently damaging voltages by induction. The human
body should be grounded at the same potential as the component or equipment
being handled. A wrist strap creates an equipotential electrical connection
between the object and the human.
The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station has a grounding point (ESD stud) to
which a wrist strap must be connected. The wrist strap should be used and
connected to the ESD stud as shown in Figure 7.
