CONTROL STATION OPERATION
When radio equipment is used to operate as a control station, it is important that the antenna be installed outside
the building and away from places where people may be in close proximity.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
●
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospital or health facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
●
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accor-
dance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Blasting caps and areas
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Damaged antennas
NOTE
Refer to Table 1 for rated power and minimum distance values for transmitting antennas.
NOTE
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inade-
quately shielded, designed, or alternately configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
WARNING: Turn off your Two-Way radio when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas (e.g. FM or
Cenelec approved). Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or
fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
WARNING: To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when
you are near electrical blasting caps. In a “
blasting area
” or in areas posted “
turn off two-way
radio
”, obey all signs and instructions.
NOTE
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling areas such as:
below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
are often but not always posted.
CAUTION: Do not use any two-way radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
