UHF Radios
Regulations and Safety
. The receiver may be fitted
with an internal radio as an option. It can also be
connected to an external UHF radio.
Regulations regarding the use of Ultra High Frequen-
cy (UHF) radio-modems vary greatly from country to
country. In some countries, the UHF kit may be used
without obtaining an end-user license. Other coun-
tries require end-user licensing. For licensing infor-
mation, consult your local Spectra Precision dealer.
Before operating the receiver with the UHF kit, deter-
mine if authorization or a license to operate the UHF
kit is required in your country. It is the end-user’s re-
sponsibility to obtain an operator’s permit or license
for the location or country of use.
Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consid-
eration. The FCC has adopted a safety standard for
human exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic
energy.
Proper use of this radio modem results in exposure
below government limits. The following precautions
are recommended:
•
DO NOT operate the transmitter when someone
is within 20 cm (7.8 inches) of the antenna.
•
DO NOT collocate (place within 20 cm) the ra-
dio antenna with any other transmitting device.
•
DO NOT operate the transmitter unless all RF
connectors are secure and any open connectors
are properly terminated.
•
DO NOT operate the equipment near electric
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
•
All equipment must be properly grounded ac-
cording to Spectra Precision installation in-
structions for safe operation.
•
All equipment should be serviced only by a qual-
ified technician.
