Envoy™ Transceiver Getting Started Guide
EMC and safety notices
Radiation safety (non-EU installations)
To ensure optimal transceiver performance and to avoid exposure
to excessive electromagnetic fields, the antenna system must be
installed according to the instructions provided.
WARNING:
High voltages exist on the antenna during
transmission and tuning. Do not touch the
antenna during these activities. RF burns may
result.
WARNING:
Install the grounding system or counterpoise as
directed to prevent RF burns from any metal part
of the transceiver.
WARNING:
You should not transmit from your transceiver or
tune the antenna unless people are beyond the
safe working distance for the installation.
The following safe working distances apply:
•
anywhere within the vehicle cabin with externally mounted
mobile antenna
•
1.5 m (5 ft) unobstructed, of any part of a mobile antenna
•
2 m (7 ft) of any part of a fixed antenna in a data installation
of up to 125 W output
•
5 m (17 ft) of any part of a fixed antenna in a data
installation of up to 1 kW output
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.
