Handle Global Positioning Receivers
and Brackets Safely
Falling while installing or removing a global positioning
receiver can cause serious injury. Use a ladder or platform
to easily reach a mounting location.
Use sturdy and secure footholds and handholds. Do not
install or remove the receiver in wet or icy conditions.
The receiver mast used on implements is heavy and can
be awkward to handle. Two people are required when
mounting locations are not accessible from the ground or
from a service platform. Use proper lifting techniques and
wear proper protective equipment.
Do not install or service a RTK base station on a tower or
other tall structure unless it provides sturdy and secure

steps and railings. If necessary, use a professional
climber.
Prevent Electrical Shock and Fires
To prevent injury from electrical shock, always disconnect
power to the receiver, antenna, and amplifier before
installing or servicing.
If installing with the power amplifier option, prevent
electrical shock or fire by using a 14 AWG heavyduty
electrical cord with 15 amp rating suitable for outdoor use.
When using an AC/DC converter, always connect to a 120
V outlet protected by Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI).

Avoid Exposure to High Radio
Frequency Fields
Prevent injury from exposure to high radio frequency fields
at an RTK base station. Do not touch the antenna while
the system is transmitting. Always disconnect power to the
receiver, radio and amplifier before installing or servicing.
While the RTK base station amplifier and radio are
operating together, stay at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) away from
the radio antenna for temporary exposure and 12 ft. (3.6
m) away for continual exposure.
While using the RTK base station radio without the
amplifier option, stay at least 8 in. (20 cm) away from the
radio antenna for temporary exposure and 15 in. (40 cm)
away for continual exposure.
