WARNING

Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard

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

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

Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, it may be necessary to halt transmission within a certain sector of antenna revolution. This can be done from the SCANNER menu.

Radiator	Distance to	Distance to
type	100 W/m2	10 W/m2
	point	point
XN4A	1.20 m	13.60 m
XN5A	1.10 m	12.30 m
