User Information

To comply with the regulations listed above, you must install and use each of the RoamAbout Outdoor Kit components (Lightning Protector, Cables and Antennas) in strict accordance with the instructions in this guide.

This equipment may cause exposure to Radio Frequency radiation. Antennas shall be mounted in such a manner to minimize the potential for human contact during normal operation. To avoid the possibility of exceeding FCC radio frequency exposure limits, do not touch the antenna during operation.

The RoamAbout outdoor antennas need to be installed by an antenna installation professional who can determine, provide, and install the necessary support structure and grounding system. The antenna installation professional should be licensed or certified in accordance with local regulations.

When connecting RoamAbout devices to equipment other than the Enterasys Networks RoamAbout products described in this guide, the antenna installation may no longer comply with the regulations as defined above. In this case, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the entire antenna installation complies with local radio regulations.

Consult the user documentation that came with the other equipment to determine whether additional instructions, cautions, or regulations apply.

Verify that the antenna installer is aware of these issues and regulations.

There is no guarantee that interference to radio communications will not occur in a particular commercial installation.

If this device does cause interference, which can be determined by turning the host equipment off and on, the user should refer to the host equipment documentation, or contact the local equipment supplier.

In case the device does cause interference with an authorized radio service, the user/operator shall promptly stop operating the device until interference is eliminated.
