Warnings and Safety Notices
Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure
Your VHF radio generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). Failure to observe these guidelines may
expose persons to RF radiation absorption exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE).
Garmin declares an MPE radius of 59 in. (1.5 m.) for this system, which was determined using 25 watts output to an omni-directional 9 dBi
gain antenna. The antenna should be installed such that a distance of 59 in. (1.5 m) is maintained between the antenna and all persons.
WARNING:
Radio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support machines, or electrical medical equipment should not be exposed to excessive
radio-frequency fields.
WARNING:
Operate the device in accordance with the instructions supplied.
NotICe:
The device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields from radio devices.
NotICe:
Check with local authorities for any antenna or operational restrictions that may apply.
Safe Compass Distance
Ensure that you install your VHF radio at least 20 in. (500 mm) from any compass. Test your compass to verify that it operates correctly
when the radio is operating.
