To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that your expo-
sure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guide-
lines in the above standards, always adhere to the following
procedures:
Mobile Radio Operation and EME Exposure
To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines ref-
erenced earlier in this document, transmit only when people out-
side the vehicle are at least the minimum distance away from a
properly installed, externally-mounting antenna.
Table 1 lists the minimum distance for several different ranges of
rated radio power.
Rated Power of Vehicle-installed

More than 50 Watts
Mobile Antenna Installation
Install the vehicle antenna external to the vehicle and in accor-
dance with:
•
The requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier
•
Instructions in the Radio Installation Manual.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY

N OTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic inter-
ference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise config-
ured for electromagnetic compatibility.
•
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility con-
flicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
