Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure | Raymarine Ray215e manual

ii

If your RAY215E does not have an optional Full Function Handset, the radio is not Class “D” and is therefore prevented by regulation from disabling the ATIS feature after it has been activated.

SAFETY NOTICE

This device is only an aid to navigation. Its performance can be affected by many factors including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions, and improper handling or use. It is the user's responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgement, and this device should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement. Your Raymarine VHF radio generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or product malfunction.

Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure

For optimal radio performance and minimal human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy, make sure the antenna is:

•connected to the radio before transmitting

•properly mounted

•located where it will be away from people

•located at least three feet (91cm) from the RAY215E and the microphone/ handset
