SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Important information on safe and efficient operation. Read this information before using the unit
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Intelpage IP contains a low power radio transmitter. When it is ON, it transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.
Your Intelpage IP is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding
exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-
1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom 1995
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic
Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure)
Standard 1999
The maximum power density for a VHF or UHF Intelpage IP is 4.0 watts power output at a distance of 20cm (7.9 inch) is
calculated at 0.79mW / cm². The recommended minimum distance between the Intelpage IP antenna and the human
body or face is 30cm (12inches).
To assure optimal performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the device. Do NOT hold the antenna when the device is in use. Holding the antenna affects signal quality
and may cause the Intelpage IP to operate at a higher power level than needed. Do not use Intelpage IP with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. The Intelpage IP
antenna port shall only be connected to internal antennas located with the same building as the main equipment.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or
otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
SELV warning
The Fusion Intelpage IP and Alarm Dispatch modules have been assessed as SELV throughout, all ports shall be
connected to approved SELV circuits or an approved isolation unit shall be used.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Do not operate the Intelpage IP in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not
always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, do not use the Intelpage IP near electrical blasting caps, in a
blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
