Avoid RF Interference
Do not install the antenna near the high power short wave radar. Most radar transmitters emit RF energy within
an elevation range of -15° to +15°. For this reason, It is recommended to position the antenna at least 15 feet
(4.6 m) away from the radar.

WARNING:
Never place the antenna in the beam path of the radar regardless of distance. The
high power short wave radar may impair its performance or damage the antenna.
RF Hazard Precautions
The antenna is designed to be used with radiation transmit equipment manufactured by others. Exposure to RF
radiation, including exposure associated with an improper use of the transmit equipment, may be hazardous to
persons close to the above deck unit. Ensure safety of personnel who work on the system.
During transmission, ensure to keep the minimum safety distance. The recommended minimum safety distance
to the reector on the focal line is about 15m, based on a radiation level of 5mW/ cm that applies under
occupational/controlled environment. No hazard exists >20° below the antenna's mounting plane.
