Safety warning
1
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 3ft (0.9 m) 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.
