:
Never operate this device unless it is connected to a suitable VHF
antenna or Vesper Marine AIS/VHF antenna splitter. Transmitting without an antenna
may damage this device.
RF Emissions Warnings
WARNING:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Vesper Marine could void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
CAUTION:
This device generates and radiates electromagnetic energy. This device must be
installed and operated according to the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do
so may result in product malfunction and / or exposure to potentially harmful levels of radio
frequency radiation.
CAUTION:
The system has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 1m from the
antenna. This has been determined assuming the maximum power of the transmitter and
using a standard half-wave monopole VHF antenna with a maximum gain of 3dBi and
termination impedance of 50 ohms.
When installing the antenna and operating the equipment consider the following:
The antenna should be mounted as high above deck as possible.
Higher gain VHF antennas will require a larger MPE radius.
Do not operate the unit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna.
The antenna should not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other
transmitting antenna.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-310 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
