Maximum Permissible Exposure

Any Wireless Equipment can pose health hazards if precaution is not

exercised in its use/operation, especially its proximity to the human body.

Excessive absorption of RF energy in the body is known to cause Cancer

and/or other diseases. The FCC has issued guidelines to determine the

safe distance of a transmitting antenna from the human body, to limit

absorption to safe levels. Please follow the instructions given in this

manual.

WARNING: Refer to Table 4 in Section 3 (Operating the transmitter) to

determine the MINIMUM DISTANCE the Transmitter with Antenna

mounted, or the Antenna itself (if connected via coax to the transmitter),

must be placed away from the body to minimize the health hazard. Also,

note the Warning for TX630 after Table 4. User’s failure to comply with the

instructions in this manual voids the site license granted.
