iv
Safety warning
1
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply
with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual
violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the
equipment. Thrane & Thrane assumes no liability for the customer's failure
to comply with these requirements.
Ground the equipment
To minimise shock hazard, the SAILOR 6248 VHF unit must be connected to
an electrical ground and the cable instructions must be followed.
RF exposure hazards and instructions
Your Thrane & Thrane radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio
frequency) energy when transmitting. To ensure that you and those around
you are not exposed to excessive amounts of energy and thus to avoid health
hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, all persons must be at least
3ft (0.9 m) away from the antenna when the radio is transmitting.
Warranty limitation
IMPORTANT - The radio is a sealed waterproof unit (classified IPX8). To
create and maintain its waterproof integrity it was assembled in a controlled
environment using special equipment. The radio is not a user maintainable
unit, and under no circumstances should the unit be opened except by
authorized personnel. Unauthorized opening of the unit will invalidate the
warranty.
Installation and service
Installation and general service must be done by skilled service personnel.
Compass safe distance
Minimum safety distance: 0.85 m from the SAILOR 6248 VHF.
