SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 prevent transmission in that area to protect passengers and crew from microwave radiation. This can be done with Sector Blank in the System menu.

Model	Antenna	Distance to	Distance to
		100 W/m2 point	10 W/m2 point
FR-8062	XN-12A	Nil	1.20 m
	XN-13A	Nil	1.10 m
FR-8122	XN-12A	0.20 m	2.30 m
	XN-13A	0.20 m	1.60 m
FR-8252	XN-12A	0.40 m	4.60 m
