Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 491
EMC and safety notices
Radiation safety
To ensure optimal transceiver performance and to avoid exposure to excessive
electromagnetic fields, the antenna system must be installed according to the instructions
provided.
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.
EMC
To ensure compliance with the EMC Directive is maintained, you must:
1 Cover unused connectors with the protective caps supplied to prevent electrostatic
discharge passing through your transceiver.
WARNING
High voltages exist on the antenna during transmission and tuning. Do not
touch the antenna during these activities. RF burns may result.
WARNING
Install the grounding system or counterpoise as directed to prevent RF
burns from any metal part of the transceiver.
WARNING
You should not transmit from your transceiver or tune the antenna unless
people are beyond the safe working distance of:
• 1.5 m (5 ft) of any part of a mobile antenna (2110 only)
• 0.2 m (8 in) from a long wire, end-fed broadband, broadband dipole,
or wire dipole antenna
• 0.6 m (2 ft) from any whip antenna
