EMC conformance

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry
standards for use in the recreational marine environment. Their design and
manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not
compromised.

Antenna mounting and EME exposure

Ensure that the antenna is connected to the radio before transmitting.
Raymarine declares a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 1.5 meters
(per OET Bulletin 65) for this system, assuming 25 watts output to an
omnidirectional antenna of 3dBi gain or less.
For watercraft with suitable structures, the antenna base must be at least 3.5
meters above the main deck to meet the MPE for persons up to 2 meters tall. For
watercraft without such structures, the antenna must be mounted so that its base
is a minimum of 1.5 meters vertically from the heads of all persons.
Do not transmit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless they
are shielded from the antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier.
