• ICNIRP (1996) [International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection]
• IRPA (1991) [International Radiation Protection
Association]
The GSP-1620 modem is designed to comply with the
established ANSI, FCC, and international safety standards
for safe levels of human exposure to RF energy. Maintaining
a minimum line-of-sight separation distance of 21.5
centimeters (8.5 inches) between the transmitting antenna
and all personnel will ensure that the General
Population/Uncontrolled Exposure maximum permissible
exposure (MPE) limits are not exceeded.
This satisfies the MPE limits mandated by the FCC in 47
CFR Ch. 1 (10-1-99 Edition), Part 1, §1.1310 and defined in
the ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 standard, and also satisfies the
more-stringent European and international exposure limit
recommendations of IRPA (1991) and ICNIRP (1996).
Caution
The ODU antenna must be installed in a configuration that ensures a
minimum line-of-sight separation distance of 21.5 centimeters (8.5
inches) is maintained at all times between the ODU antenna and any
personnel.
Electronic Device Restrictions
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from wireless phones and
modems.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation distance of 15.24 centimeters (6
inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker.
