FCC RF exposure warning
To ensure optimal transceiver performance and to avoid exposure to excessive electromagnetic fields, the
antenna system must be installed according to the instructions provided.
High voltages exist on the antenna during transmission and tuning. Do not touch the antenna during these
activities. RF burns may result.
Install the grounding system or counterpoise as directed to prevent RF burns from any metal part of the
transceiver.
Safe working distance is based on continuous exposure to CW type transmissions, as set out in the ICNIRP
Exposure Guidelines (1998) for occupational exposure. Safe working distance can be reduced with normal
voice communication.
For FCC compliance, when the 2050 transceiver is used at a power level of 100 watts PEP, the
antenna(s) used with this transceiver should be located at least 3 metres from the operator and should not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
For FCC compliance, when the 2040 transceiver is used at a power level of 30 watts PEP, the
antenna(s) used with this transceiver should be located at least 1.5 metres from the operator and should not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC modulation modes
Please note that J3E Upper Sideband Mode is the only modulation mode available for operation in the
United States of America.
Industry Canada modulation modes
Please note that J3E Upper Sideband Mode is the only modulation mode available for operation in Canada.
