FCC Safety Compliance Statement The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper installation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits. Declaration of Conformity for RF Exposure This access point product has been found to be compliant to the requirements set forth in CFR 47 Section 1.1307 addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices as defined in Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. 3 DRAFT Use is permitted with antenna gain not exceeding 4 dBi in the 2.4 GHz band and 7 dBi in the 5 GHz band, as described in filing, with a minimum separation distance of 20 cm between the antenna and all persons during normal operation. Declaration of Conformity with Regard to the EU Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) This declaration is only valid for configurations (combinations of software, firmware and hardware) provided and/or supported by Cisco Systems. The use software or firmware not supported/provided by Cisco Systems may result that the equipment is no longer compliant with the regulatory requirements. General Safety Guidelines Warnings Safety warnings appear throughout this guide in procedures that may harm you if performed incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement. The warnings below are general warnings that are applicable to the entire guide. Specific warnings are included in the sections to which they apply. Translated versions of the safety warnings in this guide are provided in the Safety Warnings for Cisco Aironet 1550 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Points document that accompanies this guide.

This list is not a one to one match to the front cover for one or more of the following reasons. 1. Basic standards call up many different test phenomena specifications such as the 61000-4-X series. The basic standards define which elements and levels shall be applied from these specifications and as such it is not appropriate to list the individual specifications on the front cover. 2. A Standard listed on the front cover may be required in a particular country but is not appropriate for the particular technologies included in the equipment under test. E.g. You cannot test a DC product to the mains Harmonics requirements in EN61000-3-2. See section 3.2. 3. Test results against a particular standard or specification may be included in a different test report. See section 3.2 for an EDCS reference of this data. 4. Where appropriate, Cisco may have substituted a later revision of a basic standard to those referenced in the specification on the front sheet of this test report. This decision was based upon improved test methodology and repeatability and/or where the newer revision represented a mo…
