1.5 Hazards of Use
The product is normally operated at least 1 m away from the user. At a dis-
tance of at least 1 m or greater, the typical power density level is below
1 mW/cm2 (0.01 W/m2). This value is far below the level specied by the cur-
rent regulations.
☞When operated in the normal manner of intended use, this product
does not pose health or safety risks regarding radio frequency sig-
nals.
To ensure that the radio modem is not operated without the permission of
the local authorities on frequencies and/or output power levels other than
those specically reserved and intended for use without a specic permit, the
internal and external radio modems have been designed to operate on fre-
quency ranges and output power ranges. The exact use of the frequency
ranges differs from one region and/or country to another.
DANGER
Risk of electrocution
Because of the risk of electrocution, it is dangerous to use poles, levelling
staffs and extensions in the vicinity of electrical installations such as power
cables or electrical railways.
Precautions:
▶Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations. If it is essential to
work in this environment, rst contact the safety authorities responsible
for the electrical installations and follow their instructions.
