SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

Stay away from transmitting scanner.

The radar scanner emits microwave radiation which can be harmful to the human body, particularly the eyes. Never look directly into the scanner radiator from a distance of less than 1 m when the radar is in operation.

Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard

The radar scanner emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the scanner aperture from a close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting scanner at a close distance.

Distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 and 10 W/m2 exist are given in the table below.

Note: If the scanner unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, your administration may require halt of transmission within a certain sector of scanner revolution. This is possible—Ask your FURUNO representative or dealer to provide this feature.
