Installation
1. An omni-directional antenna with a maximum power gain of
4 dB must be mounted at least 400 cm above the highest
deck where people may be staying during radio
transmissions. The distance is to be measured vertically from
the lowest point of the antenna. This provides the minimum
separation distance which is in compliance with RF exposure
requirements and is based on the MPE radius of 200 cm plus
the 200 cm height of an adult.
2. On vessels that cannot fulfil requirements in item 1, the
antenna must be mounted so that its lowest point is at least
3 ft. (0.9m) vertically above the heads of people on deck and
all persons must be outside the 200 cm MPE radius during
radio transmission.
• Always mount the antenna at least 200 cm from possible
human access.
• Never touch the antenna when transmitting
• Use only authorized T&T accessories.
3. If the antenna has to be placed in public areas or near people
with no awareness of the radio transmission, the antenna
must be placed at a distance not less than 200 cm from
possible human access.
Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause you or other
people to exceed FCC RF exposure limits or create other
dangerous conditions.
