10 For your safety
antenna mounted either centrally on the vehicle roof
with a gain of 2.15 dBi or 5.65 dBi, or centrally
mounted on the trunk with a gain of 5.65 dBi.
900 MHz radios must be installed using an antenna
mounted either centrally on the vehicle roof or
centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain of 2.15 dBi
or 8 dBi.
For radios with a transmit power of 25 W:
The radio must be installed using an externally
mounted antenna with a gain of either 2.15 dBi or
5.15 dBi.
This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a form of
electromagnetic energy (as is sunlight), and there are
recommended levels of maximum RF exposure.
To control your exposure to RF and comply with the
maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled
environments, follow these guidelines:
Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated
■
transmit duty cycle. This is important because the
radio radiates more energy when it is transmitting
than when it is receiving.
While you are transmitting (talking or sending data) on
■
the radio, you must ensure that there is always a dis-
tance of 35 inches (0.9 m) between people and the
antenna. This is the minimum safe distance. For 110
W mobiles, the minimum safe distance is 44 inches
(1.1 m).
Use the radio only with Tait-approved antennas and
■
attachments, and make only authorized modifications
to the antenna otherwise you could damage the radio
and violate FCC regulations.
For more information on what RF energy is and how to
control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at
