To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines in the above standards, the following operating procedures should be observed:
• Do not
operate a transceiver when someone is within the distance noted below of the
antenna (unity gain).
o 120 cm (approx. 4 feet) for ADL Vantage @ 4 Watts
o 30 cm (approx. 12 inches) for ADL Vantage @ 2 Watts
o 15 cm (approx. 6 inches) for ADL Vantage @ ½ Watt
• Do not
operate the transceiver unless all RF connectors are secure and any open
connectors are properly terminated.
• Avoid contact with the antenna while operating the transceiver.
• Do not
operate the transceiver with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
• Do not
operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the FCC could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
