CAUTION
Observe these precautions to avoid exposure to RF
radiation, a potential safety hazard:
• The antenna must be installed in a location or manner
not readily accessible to children and in a manner that
prevents human exposure to potentially harmful levels
of radiation.
• Antennas mounted in Puerto Rico, the continental
United States, or at any site with greater than a 30°
elevation angle must be installed such that the lower lip
of the antenna reflector is at least 5 ft above any surface
upon which a person might be expected to stand, and
3
ft 3 inches from any opening (such as a door or
window) in a building or adjacent structure.
• Antennas mounted in Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, or any
site with less than a 30° elevation must be installed
such that the lower lip of the antenna reflector is at least
5
ft 9 inches above any surface upon which a person
might be expected to stand, and 3 ft 3 inches from any
opening (such as a door or window) in a building or
adjacent structure.
• The antenna must be mounted such that no object
which could reasonably be expected to support a
person is within 6 ft 7 inches of the edges of a
cylindrical space projecting outward from the antenna
reflector toward the satellite.
• If the above distance requirements cannot be met, the
antenna must be mounted in a controlled area
inaccessible to the general public, such as a fenced
enclosure or a roof.
• The antenna must be mounted such that there is no
object outside the controlled area which could
reasonably be expected to support a person within
6
ft 7 inches of the edges of a cylindrical space
projecting outward from the antenna reflector toward
the satellite.
• A fenced installation must have a locked entry, and the
fenced area must be large enough to protect the general
public from exposure to potentially harmful levels of
radiation.
• Access to a roof installation in a commercial, industrial,
or institutional environment must be limited by a door or
a permanently fastened ladder that is locked to deny
access to the general public.
Failure to observe these cautions could result in injury to
eyes or other personal injury.
