CAUTION - RF Radiation Hazard

The antenna transmits radio frequency (RF) energy
that is potentially harmful. Whenever the system is
powered on, make sure everyone stays more than
32 ft (10 m) away from the antenna within its
7.7-75° elevation range. No hazard exists directly
above the antenna and anywhere below the
antenna’s mounting plane.

Who Should Install the System?

To ensure a safe and effective installation, KVH
recommends that a KVH-authorized marine technician
install the TracPhone V30 system. To find a technician near
