Shock Hazard
WARNING
The Below Decks Equipment (BDE) contains low voltage that may cause serious injury if
opened or not grounded. Ensure the unit is properly grounded before operation and do
not, under any conditions, open or dismantle the BDE. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
1.5.2 Radiation Hazard
Potentially hazardous radio frequency (RF) is transmitted from ADE.
To avoid risk to personnel keep the following distances between personnel and the antenna when the system
power is ON. Personnel must maintain a minimum separation distance of 1m from the unit and installers must
place the Above Deck Equipment transmitter in a manner to maintain this minimum spacing requirement.

Description Minimum Distance from Antenna
Within 0° - 180° of the antenna elevation range 1.0 m (3.3 ft.)
WARNING
The Above Decks Equipment (ADE) transmits radio frequency energy (RF) that may cause
thermal injuries including tissue damage from increased heating and body temperature.
When the system power is ON keep all personnel a minimum of 1.0 m (3.3 ft.) from the
antenna (see Radiation Hazard). Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
