Set Up No-Transmit Zones

To prevent exposure to RF energy (see the hazard
area illustration on page 1), you can configure up
to two no-transmit zones for areas where crew
and/or passengers frequent (see Figure 37). The
system will disable the transmitter whenever the
antenna is pointing within one of these zones.
Follow these steps to set up a no-transmit zone.
a. Determine the necessary azimuth range for
the no-transmit zone(s). You will need to
enter, in clockwise order, beginning and
ending azimuths that define the outer
boundaries of the zone(s) relative to the
antenna's forward arrow, which should be
pointing toward the bow (see Figure 38).
NOTE: Each no-transmit zone must span at least 5°.
Therefore, be sure to set the beginning and ending
azimuths at least 5º apart.
b. At the TracPhone V3-IP web interface, click
the Settings tab. Then click No-Transmit
Zones.
c. Click Edit.
d. Click Enforce Zones (see Figure 39).
e. Enter the azimuth range for Zone 1.
f. Enter the azimuth range for Zone 2, if
required.
g. Click Save All Settings.
h. At the confirmation message, click Save.
