The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service
and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings in
this manual may violate the safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the
equipment.
RADIATION WARNING
During transmission this system can radiate microwave power from the antenna unit in any
direction. High levels of radio frequency radiation are considered harmful to health. Although all
countries have not agreed upon a single value, the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999) recommends that any person in a controlled environment should not be
exposed to radiation stronger than 5mW/cm
2
at the frequencies used in this system. Accordingly,
the operator of the system should ensure that no person should approach within 6.6 feet (2
metres) of the antenna when the system is transmitting, unless adequate screening is provided.
Despite this warning, specific system configurations may have a much shorter safe distance. This is
dependent on factors like the number of channels used, the use of cooperative channels etc.
Should shorter safe distances be a requirement in a specific application, please contact Cobham or
the manufacturer of the SDU equipment.
