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 communication. 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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by HM Electronics, Inc. could void the users authority to operate this equipment. MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLERS AND USERS Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antennas, power supplies, batteries and battery chargers. All products are compliant with regulatory requirements when installed correctly per HME installation instructions.. The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy, which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits. Base Station Antenna minimum safe distance: 7.9 inches (20 cm) at 100% duty cycle. Base Station Antenna gain: This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of up to 2dBi. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms. Antenna mounting: The antenna(s) used for the base transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer. You may be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions. WARNING: Maintain a separation distance from the base station transmit antenna to a person(s) of at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) at 100% duty cycle. You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF exposure compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-related use. Transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna.
