Barrett 2050 - FCC RF Exposure Warning

9 of 285
FCC RF Exposure Warning
To ensure optimal transceiver performance and to avoid exposure to excessive
electromagnetic fields, the antenna system must be installed according to the
instructions provided.
High voltages exist on the antenna during transmission and tuning. Do not touch
the antenna during these activities. RF burns may result.
Install the grounding system or counterpoise as directed to prevent RF burns from
any metal part of the transceiver.
Safe working distance is based on continuous exposure to CW type transmissions,
as set out in the ICNIRP Exposure Guidelines (1998) for occupational exposure.
Safe working distance can be reduced with normal voice communication.
For FCC compliance, when the 2050 transceiver is used at a power level of
100 watts PEP, the antenna(s) used with this transceiver should be located at least
3 metres from the operator and should not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
For FCC compliance, when the 2040 transceiver is used at a power level of
30 watts PEP, the antenna(s) used with this transceiver should be located at least
1.5 metres from the operator and should not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC Modulation Modes
Please note that J3E Upper Sideband Mode is the only modulation mode available
for operation in the United States of America.
Industry Canada Modulation Modes
Please note that J3E Upper Sideband Mode is the only modulation mode available
for operation in Canada.
