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.
