Instruction Manual 5
Safety:
It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards common to the
operation of any transceiver.
WARNING:
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be: (1) fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent
structures with a separation distance of at least 19.7 feet (6 meters) from all persons
during normal operation and (2) professionally installed. The peak conducted output
power at each antenna terminal must not exceed 85W and the peak radiated output power
must not exceed 1640W EIRP. The gain of the antenna(s) used with this transmitter
summed with any combiner losses and coaxial cable losses experienced in the feed
between the transmitter and the antenna must not exceed a total gain of 12 dBd. The
installer of the antenna to be used with this transmitter may be required to perform an
MPE evaluation and an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the location at the time of
licensing per CFR 47 Part 1.1307. Additionally, fixed mounted antenna(s) that are co-
located with other antenna(s) must satisfy the co-location requirements of Part 1.1307 for
satisfying RF exposure compliance.
• INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS: Do not operate the
transceiver when someone is either touching the antenna or standing within proximity
established by an MPE evaluation to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or
related physical injury.
• DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS Operating the transceiver within 500 feet of
dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when
in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO”
signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make
sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit
while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.
