2110 SSB Transceiver compliance
16 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual
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.
Electrical safety
To ensure compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive is maintained, you must
deploy and use the 2110 SSB Transceiver and antennas in accordance with the
instructions in the 2110 SSB Transceiver Getting Started Guide, the Quick Reference
Cards supplied with each antenna, and the 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual.
When using equipment that is connected directly to the AC mains these precautions must
be followed and checked before apply AC power to the unit:
1 Use the standard AC mains cable supplied.
1 Ensure the covers for the equipment are fitted correctly.
The 3121 AC Battery Charger is double insulated and marked with .
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
CAUTION
If it is necessary to remove the covers during service by a qualified
electronics technician, they must be refitted correctly before using the
equipment.
