1.3 Caution: Aerial Load
The equipment has been designed to operate safely under a wide range of aerial loading
conditions. However, we strongly recommend that the transmitter should always be
operated with a suitable load to prevent damage to the transmitter output power stage.
1.4 Caution: Beryllium Oxide & Power Transistors
The RF power transistors in current use all contain some beryllium oxide. This sub-
stance, while perfectly harmless in its normal solid form, can become a severe health
hazard when it has been reduced to dust. For this reason the RF power transistors
should not be broken open, mutilated, filed, machined, or physically damaged in any
way that can produce dust particles.
1.5 USA Installations: RF Exposure Compliance, Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions
All radio transmitter installations must comply with the FCC environmental rules (refer
to CFR 47 Chapter 1, sub-part I). In addition, the FCC requires the following safety
information to be provided by the radio manufacturer:
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the gen-
eral/uncontrolled and occupational/controlled environment exposure limits

Guidelines:
• User awareness instructions must accompany this device when transferred to
other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not
met.
Instructions:
• Transmit only when people near the antenna are at least the recommended
minimum distance away, as shown in Table 1.1, from a properly installed,
according to installation instructions, externally-mounted antenna.
Note: Table 1.1 lists the recommended minimum distance for bystanders in an
uncontrolled environment from transmitting types of antennas at fre-
quencies in the range 138-174MHz and several different ranges of rated
radio power.
Table 1.1 Rated Power and Recommended Distance
Rated Power of Transmitter Recommended Minimum Distance
from Transmitting Antennaa
a.These distances are calculated based on a 6dBi gain collinear antenna as might be
used in a typical installation. For other powers and antenna types, consult the sup-
plier.
