The nstallaton of ths equpment should be made n such a
manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetc
field exposure lmts (1999/519/EC).
The maxmum RF power avalable from ths devce s 25
watts. The antenna should be nstalled as hgh as possble
for maxmum effcency and that ths nstallaton heght
should be at least 5 meters above ground (or accessble)
level. In the case where an antenna cannot be nstalled at
a reasonable heght, then the transmtter should nether be
contnuously operated for long perods f any person s wthn
5 meters of the antenna, nor operated at all f any person s
touchng the antenna.
In all cases any possble rsk depends on the transmtter
beng actvated for long perods. (actual recommendaton
lmts are specfied as an average of 6 mnutes) Normally the
transmtter s not actve for long perods of tme. Some rado
lcenses wll requre that a tmer crcut automatcally cuts the
transmtter after 1–2 mnutes etc.
Smlarly some types of transmtter, SSB, CW, AM, etc. have
a lower ‘average’ output power and the perceved rsk s even
lower.
