9 RF Exposure Warning
WARNING: This device generates and radiates RF electromagnetic energy and must be
installed and operated according to the instructions contained in this manual. Failure
to do so may result in product malfunction and/or exposure to potentially harmful
levels of radio frequency radiation.
WARNING: Never operate this device unless it is properly connected to a VHF antenna.
To maximize performance and minimize human exposure to RF energy, always mount
the antenna at least 3m from the device.
The system has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 50cm from the
antenna, and 20cm from Wi-Fi antenna (B600W only). This has been determined
assuming the maximum power of the transmitter and using a standard half-wave
monopole VHF antenna with a maximum gain of 3dBi and termination impedance of
50 ohms.
When installing the antenna and operating the equipment consider the following:
 The antenna should be mounted at a minimum vertical distance of 5m above
the deck in order to meet international safety directives on Maximum
Permissible Exposure (MPE). Failure to adhere to these limits could expose
persons within the radius to RF radiation in excess of the recommended MPE
limits.
 Higher gain VHF antennas will require a larger MPE radius.
 Do not operate the unit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna.
 The antenna should not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other transmitting antenna.

Hereby, Alltek Marine Electronics Corp. (AMEC) declares that this WideLink
B600/B600W is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU RED.
