Regulatory compliance statementsWireless Guidance

The Gateway 7001 Series APs, (low power Radio Frequency, RF, transmitting device), operate in the 2400-2483.5 MHz band for 802.11B&G and 5 GHz bands for 802.11A. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating the wireless LAN.

Limitations, cautions, and concerns are listed below and in the specific country sections (or country group sections). This wireless device is only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the device rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in is not listed, please contact that countries local Radio Approval agency for requirements prior to operation. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the device is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because this wireless device emits less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Gateway believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

Measurements have been performed to show that the RF exposure is below what is considered safe limits; however care should be taken to make sure the user or bystanders keep the transmitter away from their body when the wireless device is transmitting. The transmitting antenna should be installed and used in a manner to maintain 20cm (8 inches) from user’s or bystander’s bodies.

This wireless device is intended to be used indoors. In some areas, use of this device outdoors is prohibited.

Some circumstances require restrictions on using wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

Warning In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Warning Do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system is fully assembled.

Warning Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact Gateway for service.
