198 ENVOY® TRANSCEIVER GETTING STARTED GUIDE
EMC and safety notices
Radiation safety (non-EU installations)
To ensure optimal transceiver performance and to avoid exposure
to excessive electromagnetic fields, the antenna system must be
installed according to the instructions provided.
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 for the installation.
The following safe working distances apply:
• anywhere within the vehicle cabin with an externally
mounted mobile antenna
• 1.8 m (6 ft) unobstructed, of any part of a mobile antenna
• 2 m (7 ft) of any part of a fixed antenna in a data installation
of up to 125 W output
• 5 m (17 ft) of any part of a fixed antenna in a data
installation of up to 1 kW output
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.

CAUTION: If it is necessary to remove the covers at any stage,
they must be refitted correctly before using the
equipment.
