Safety Information
The
FT-90R
is an electrical apparatus, as well as a generator of RF (Radio Fre-
quency) energy, and you should exercise all safety precautions as are appropriate
for this type of device. These safety tips apply to
any
device installed in a well-
designed amateur radio station.
Do not allow unsupervised children to play in the vicinity of your trans-
ceiver or antenna installation.
Be certain to wrap any wire or cable splices thoroughly with insulating
electrical tape, to prevent short circuits.
Do not route cables or wires through door jambs or other locations where,
through wear and tear, they may become frayed and shorted to ground or to
each other.
Do not allow anyone to stand in front of a directional antenna while you
are transmitting into that antenna, especially on UHF. Do not install a di-
rectional antenna in any location where humans or pets may be walking in
the main directional lobe of the antenna’s radiation pattern.
In mobile installations, it is preferable to mount your antenna on top of the
roof of the vehicle, if feasible, so as to utilize the car body as a counter-
poise for the antenna and raise the radiation pattern as far away from pas-
sengers as possible.
During vehicular operation when stopped (in a parking lot, for example),
make it a practice to switch to the “
MID2
” or “
LOW
” power options if there
are people walking nearby.
Never
wear dual-earmuff headphones while driving a vehicle.
