36This equipment is designed to generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) energy by means of an external antenna. When terminated into a non-radiating RF load, the base station equipment is certified to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations pertaining to human exposure to RF radiation in accordance with the FCC Rules Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code of federal regulations and procedures established in TIA/EIA TSB92, Report On EME Evaluation for RF Cabinet Emissions Under FCC MPE Guidelines. Compliance to FCC regulations of the final installation should be assessed and take into account site specific characteristics such as type and location of antennas, as well as site accessibility of occupational personnel (controlled environment) and the general public (uncontrolled environment). This equipment should only be installed and maintained by trained technicians. Licensees of the FCC using this equipment are responsible for insuring that its installation and operation comply with FCC regulations Part 1 Section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code of federal regulations. Whether a given installation meets FCC limits for human exposure to radio frequency radiation may depend not only on this equipment but also on whether the environments being assessed are being affected by radio frequency fields from other equipment, the effects of which may add to the level of exposure. Accordingly the overall exposure may be affected by radio frequency generating facilities that exist at the time the licensee's equipment is being installed or even by equipment installed later. Therefore, the effects of any such facilities must be considered in site selection and in determining whether a particular installation meets the FCC requirements. FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in making determinations if a given facility is compliant with the human exposure to RF radiation limits.Human Exposure Compliance
37In general the following guidelines should be observed when working in or around radio transmitter sites：For installations outside of the U.S., consult with the applicable governing body and standards for RF energy human exposure requirements and take the necessary steps for compliance with local regulations.All personnel should have electromagnetic energy awareness training All personnel entering the site must be authorized Obey all posted signs Assume all antennas are activeBefore working on antennas, notify owners and disable appropriate transmitters Maintain minimum 5.89 meter (19.3 feet) clearance from all antennasDo not stop in front of antennas Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operationDo not operate base station antennas in equipment roomsDetermining the compliance of transmitter sites of various complexities may be accomplished by means of computational methods. For more complex sites direct measurement of the power density may be more expedient. Additional information on the topic of electromagnetic exposure is contained in the Unication Standards and Guideline for Communications Sites publication.Persons responsible for installation of this equipment are urged to consult the listed reference material to assist in determining whether a given installation complies with the applicable limits.
38Conformité concernant l’exposition de l’hommeCet équipement est conçu pour générer et émettre l’énergie de la radiofréquence (RF) au moyen d’une antenne extérieure. Après s’être terminé à un charge de RF non-émettant, l’équipement de la station de base est certifié qu’il se conforme aux règlements de la Commission de Communication Fédérale (FCC) appartenant à l’exposition de l’homme aux radiations de RF, conformément à l’article 1.1310 de la première partie des règles FCC publiés dans le titre 47 du code des règlements fédéraux ainsi que les procédures établies dans TIA/EIA TSB92, le Rapport d’EME Évaluation pour Émissions de Cabinets de RF Sous Indications FCC MPE. La conformité aux règlements FCC de l’installation finale doit être estimé, tenant compte des caractéristiques spécifique du site comme le type et la localisation des antennes, ainsi que l’accessibilité du site du personnel du travail (environnement contrôlé) et le public général (environnement incontrôlé). Cet équipement doit seulement être installé et maintenu par des techniciens entraînés. Détenteur d’autorisation de FCC qui utilise cet équipement est responsable d’assurer que son installation et opération se conforment à l’article 1.1310 de la première partie des règles FCC publiés dans le titre 47 du code des règlements fédéraux.Qu’une installation donnée satisfasse ou non les limites de FCC pour l’exposition de l’homme à la radiation de radiofréquence dépendrait non seulement de cet équipement, mais aussi des environnements déjà estimés influencés ou non par des champs de radiofréquence d’autres équipements. Les effets de ces autres équipements augmenterait le niveau d’exposition. En conséquence, l’exposition totale serait influencée par des installations générant la radiofréquence qui existent au moment où l’équipement du détenteur d’autorisation est en train d’être installé ou même par des équipements installés plus tard. Par conséquent, les effets de toutes ces telles installations doivent être considérés pour la sélection du site et pour déterminer si une installation particulière se conforme aux exigences de FCC. Le bulletin 65 de FCC OET offre des matériels pour aider à déterminer si une installation donnée se conforme aux limites de l’exposition de
39l’homme à la radiation de RF. La détermination de la conformité des sites d’émetteurs des complexités variées serait accomplie au moyen des méthodes sur ordinateur. Pour des sites plus complexes, le mesurage direct de la densité de pouvoir serait plus opportun. Des informations supplémentaires au sujet de l’exposition électromagnétique sont contenues dans le Standard Unication ainsi que les Indications pour la publication des Sites de Communications. On conseille vivement aux personnes responsables de l’installation de cet équipement de consulter le matériel de référence en liste pour déterminer si une installation donnée se conforme aux limites en application.En général, les indications ci-dessous doivent être observées pendant le travail dans ou près des sites d’émetteur de radio :Tout le personnel doit être formé à la connaissance de l’énergie électromagnétiqueTout le personnel entrant dans le site doit être autoriséRespecter toutes les marques affichées Assumer que toutes les antennes sont activesAvant travailler sur les antennes, notifier les propriétaires et immobiliser les émetteurs appropriésGarder au minimum 5.89 mètres ( 19.3 pieds) d’espace de toutes les antennesNe pas s’arrêter devant les antennesUtiliser les moniteurs de RF personnels pendant le travail près des antennesJamais opérer les émetteurs sans protection pendant l’opération normaleNe pas opérer les antennes de la station de base dans les cabinets d’équipementPour l’installation hors des Etats-Unis, consulter l’établissement administratif en vigueur ainsi que les standards pour les exigences de l’exposition de l’homme à l’énergie RF, et prendre des mesures pour se conformer aux règlements locaux.
