Shock hazard
The Below Decks Equipment (BDE) contains low voltage that may cause serious injury if
opened or not grounded. Ensure the unit is properly grounded before operation and do
not, under any conditions, open or dismantle the BDE. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
1.5.2 Radiation hazard
Potentially hazardous radio frequency (RF) is transmitted from ADE.
To avoid risk to personnel keep the following distances between personnel and the antenna when the system
power is ON. Personnel must maintain a minimum separation distance of 1m from the unit and installers must
place the Above Deck Equipment transmitter in a manner to maintain this minimum spacing requirement.
