Safety Warnings
This section contains important information on the safe installation of the
radio. You must read this information before starting the installation.
You must also read and observe the safety information on radio operation
provided in the Safety and Compliance Information and the User’s Guide.
RF Exposure Hazard
Radios produce RF electromagnetic energy when transmitting and this can
be hazardous to human health. The 110 W mobile has a very powerful
transmitter, requiring that particular care is taken to ensure that exposure to
RF energy is kept below the limits defined in FCC guidelines.
Warning
RF exposure hazard. To comply with FCC RF
exposure limits, mount the antenna at a location such that no
person or persons can come closer than 44 inches (1.1m) to the
antenna. For VHF radios, mount the antenna centrally on the
vehicle roof, with a gain of 2.15dBi or 5.15dBi.
Warning
When installing and testing this radio, DO NOT
allow the antenna to touch or come very close to any part of
your body while the radio is transmitting.
Safe Radio Mounting
Warning
Mount the radio securely so that it will not break
loose in the event of a collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous
to the vehicle occupants.
■
Do not mount the radio vertically.

rely on the correct fuses on both the negative and positive power
supply leads being present. Failure to fit the correct fuses may
result in fire or damage to the radio.
