Safety warning
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 6249 VHF Survival Craft 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 200 cm 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.
