FCC Safety Compliance Statement
The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco antennas, Cisco
Catalyst products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper
operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user exposure
substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
Safety Precautions
For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:
• Select your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines
and phone lines look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill.
• Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to come to look at your proposed
installation
• Plan your installation carefully and thoroughly before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower
is mostly a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and know what to
do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch
for signs of trouble.
• When installing the AP or its antennas, remember:
• Do not use a metal ladder.
• Do not work on a wet or windy day.
