4.2.4 RF Hazard Precautions
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. To comply with
current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the minimum safe distance
as guided by the antenna manufacturer or supplier.
WARNING
Exposure to radio frequency energy (RF) from the antenna may cause thermal injuries including tissue
damage from increased heating and body temperature. Keep everyone (operators, pedestrians) and windows,
doors at a safe distance from the antenna when the system power is ON. Personnel must maintain a minimum
distance of A (refer to the function below) and installers must place the ODU (Outdoor Unit) transmitter
in a manner to maintain minimum spacing requirement. Failure to do so could result in exposure to radio
frequency energy (RF) transmitted from the ODU (Outdoor Unit) that could result in serious injury or death.
The value of the table applies to persons in the general population who are in an uncontrolled environment.
