SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Radio Frequency Radiation
Hazard
The radar scanner emits electromagnetic
radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never
look directly into the scanner aperture from
a close distance while the radar is in oper-
ation or expose yourself to the transmitting
scanner at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation levels of
100 and 10 W/m
2 exist are given in the
table below.
Note: If the scanner unit is installed at a
close distance in front of the wheelhouse,
your administration may require halt of
transmission within a certain sector of
scanner revolution. This is possible Ask
your FURUNO representative or dealer to
provide this feature.
DANGER
Before turning on the radar,
make sure that there is no one
near the antenna.
Serious injury or even death may result if
