SAILOR 6248 VHF
Preface
Radio for occupational use
The SAILOR 6248 VHF meets the requirements of the SOLAS and is intended for use in a maritime
environment.
SAILOR 6248 VHF is designed for
occupational use only and must be operated by licensed personnel
only.
SAILOR 6248 VHF is not intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public.
SAILOR 6248 VHF is designed for installation by a skilled service person.
Training information
The SAILOR 6248 VHF is designed for occupational use only and is also classified as such. It must be
operated by licensed personnel only. It must only be used in the course of employment by individuals
aware of both the hazards as well as the way to minimize those hazards
The radio is thus NOT intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public. The SAILOR
6248 VHF has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
Occupational Use Only . The
radio also complies with the following guidelines and standards regarding RF energy and electromagnetic
energy levels including the recommended levels for human exposure:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard for safety levels with respect to human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE recommended practice for the measurement of
potentially hazardous electromagnetic fields - RF and microwaves.
Below the RF exposure hazards and instructions in safe operation of the radio within the FCC RF exposure
limits established for it are described.
Warning
Your Thrane & Thrane radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energy when it is
transmitting. To ensure that you and those around you are not exposed to excessive amounts of that
energy (beyond FCC allowable limits for occupational use) and thus to avoid health hazards from
excessive exposure to RF energy, FCC OET bulletin 65 establishes an Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) radius of 200
cm for the maximum power of your radio (25W selected) with a half wave omni-
directional antenna having a maximum gain of 4 dB. This means all persons must be at least 200 cm away
from the antenna when the radio is transmitting.
