Chapter 2 Regulatory Information - Cisco BWX 120 User Manual

Regulatory Information
The BWX 120 PCMCIA Modem has been tested with a typical laptop computer with a side loading
PCMCIA bay. This BWX 120 PCMCIA Modem must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with
any antenna (other than the one furnished by Cisco and included in the package) or transmitter. Use of
this device in any other configuration may exceed the FCC, ETSI, or other regulatory bodies RF
Exposure compliance limit.
If this equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user should try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
1. Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna,
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver,
3. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for additional suggestions.
FCC guidelines stipulate that the antenna should be more than 2.5 cm (1") from bystanders and 1.2 cm
(0.472") from the user. When in use, the antenna should be pointed vertically upward. When using the
Desktop Antenna with the BWX 120 PCMCIA Modem, a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches)
is required from the user or bystander.
This product conforms with the Australian Standard for Human Exposure to Radiation at a distance of
2.5 cm. Closer contact; such as touching the aerial will result in radiation in excess of safe limits.
SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate, is the measurement for the rate at which electromagnetic energy is
absorbed by the human body during exposure. The FCC states the body SAR limit is 1.6 W/kg. The
highest reported SAR value for the BWX 120 PCMCIA Modem is 0.560 W/kg.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
Note
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
