SAFETY INFORMATION Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the PTT button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% using alkaline AAA size batteries to comply with Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) RF exposure guidelines with safety level guidelines fro hand-held wireless devices. Important: To maintain compliance with the FCCs RF exposure guidelines hold the transmitter at least 1 inch away (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Use only supplied belt clip. Atlantis bk_OM.qxd 09/20/2002 5:03 PM Page 6 FCC NOTICE Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void compliance with FCC Rules. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a marine installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or the following measures:
Consult the dealer or an experienced marine electronics technician for help. 2 FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE ONLY When operating your portable marine VHF radio transceiver, you should know that the antenna radiates radio frequency energy. This radio was designed to meet the FCCs rules and regulations for the maximum permissible exposure to radio frequency energy. This design was tested and found to be compliant to the strict requirements established by the FCC. This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control his or her exposure conditions for satisfying the higher exposure limit allowed for Occupational Users. DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer to use with this radio. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of the total radio use time. Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX indicator is displayed on the screen. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT switch. This radio is approved for use with the specific belt-clip tested for body-worn SAR compliance. Other belt clips or body-worn accessories may not comply and should be avoided. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: It is up to the user to properly operate this transmitter to ensure safe operation. Please adhere to the following:
Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the knowledge of the following safety guidelines. Hold the radio transceiver to your face, but always maintain at least a 1 inch separation distance between your body (including the face and eyes) and any surface of the radio. Never allow the antenna to touch the human body or to come within 1 inch when the transmitter is active.
