Before operating this radio-modem, you are legally required to obtain
frequency licenses as required by the country of use. Please contact
your local communications governing agency for the licensing
requirements for each of these radio-modems.
4.4 Safety
Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consideration. The FCC
has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-regulated equipment as a
result of its actions in General Docket 79-144 on March 13, 1986.
Proper use of this radio-modem results in exposure below government
limits. The following precautions are recommended:
• Do not operate the transmitter when someone is within
0.6 meter (2 ft) of the antenna.
• Do not operate the transmitter unless all RF connectors are
secure and any open connectors are properly terminated.
• Do not operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in
an explosive atmosphere.
• All equipment must be properly grounded according to Trimble
installation instructions for safe operation.
• All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified
technician.
