Installation and
Antenna Requirements and Attachment
WARNING
Do not transmit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna unless that person or persons are shielded from the antenna by a grounded metallic barrier. This is especially important on vessels with antennas mounted as described in B where no one may be within 9 ft (2,8 m) horizontally from the base of the antenna during transmissions.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ABOVE LIMITS MAY EXPOSE THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO RF ENERGY ABSORPTION IN EXCESS OF THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE. IT IS THE RADIO OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT MPE LIMITS ARE HEEDED AND THAT NO ONE IS WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS DURING TRANSMISSIONS.
Coaxial Cable Socket
Antenna Lead Attachment
Once the antenna is installed, the Coaxial Cable Lead can be attached to the coaxial cable socket at the back of the transceiver.
NOTICE
Attempting to transmit without an antenna attached will damage your CobraMarine VHF radio.
