FCC Radio Frequency

Compliance Requirements and Warnings

When operating your marine radio transceiver, you should know that the antenna radiates radio frequency (RF) energy. This radio was de- signed to meet the FCC’s rules and regulations for the maximum per- missible exposure to radio frequency energy. This design was tested and found to be compliant with the strict requirements established by the FCC.

DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, because this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Antenna types suited for this radio are described in the installation section.

DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of the total radio use time. Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” is displayed on the screen. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the "PTT" (Push To Talk) switch.

IMPORTANT: The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be in- stalled to provide a separation distance of at least 91 cm (37 inches) from all persons (including passengers). The antenna(s) must not ex- ceed an antenna gain of 3 decibels (dB) and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
