2110 SSB Transceiver Getting Started Guide 7
Electromagnetic compatibility 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.
Electromagnetic compatibility
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 equipment.
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:
• 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
