The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance
while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation level of 100, 50 and 10 W/m
2
are given in the table below.
If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, your administration may
require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antenna revolution. See the installation manual
for how to manage blind sectors.
