Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for
Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed as Fixed Site Control Stations
If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control
station or as a fixed unit, the antenna installation must comply with the following
requirements in order to ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF
energy exposure limits in the standards and guidelines listed on page 4:
• The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at
all possible.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee
to manage the site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and
may require additional compliance actions such as site survey measurements,
signage, and site access restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits are
not exceeded.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be necessary to
conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equipment
used in or around vehicles or near fixed site antenna is sensitive to
external RF energy or if any procedures need to be followed to eliminate
or mitigate the potential for interaction between the radio transmitter and
the equipment or device.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
