Compliance And Control Guidelines And Operating Instructions For Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed On Maritime Vessels; Electromagnetic Interference Or Compatibility - Motorola APX6000 User Manual

Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions for Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed on
Maritime Vessels
If mobile radio equipment is installed on a vessel and operated as a fixed unit,
the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order
to ensure optimal performance and compliance with RF energy exposure limits
in the standards and guidelines listed on page 3.
• An antenna intended for Maritime operation should be chosen and
installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• The antennas should be mounted solidly to the vessel structure at the
highest location possible.
• As with all radio antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the
operator to maintain adequate distances from the antenna and all
personnel on board the vessel or adjacent to the vessel.
• For additional installation information, see the guidelines for minimum
separation distances proved above in the RF Exposure Compliance and
Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions section of this document.

Electromagnetic Interference or Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be necessary to
conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equipment
used in or around vehicles or near fixed site antenna is sensitive to
external RF energy or if any procedures need to be followed to eliminate
or mitigate the potential for interaction between the radio transmitter and
the equipment or device.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, 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.
