Mount other electronics and cables more than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.
Electromagnetic Energy. The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off and/or DC power input be disconnected whenever personnel are required to come close to the scanner to perform work on the scanner assembly or associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range of personnel (above head height). Do not look directly at the antenna at close range as your eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy. When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will conform to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Expo-
sure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
Magnetic compass: Mount the scanner unit at least x (TBD) m away from a magnetic compass. 4 GMR 20/40 Installation and Operation Guide FCC Compliance The GMR 20/40 complies with Parts 15 and 80 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE.
