Safety Information - Raymarine RAYCOM Cellular User Manual

Safety Information

To ensure safe and efficient operation, please read the following information and
!
observe these guidelines whenever using your RAYCOM Fixed Wireless Terminal.
Your RAYCOM Cellular FWT (Fixed Wireless Terminal) functions
as both a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the FWT
receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The unit may
operate in frequency ranges between 824 MHz and 894 MHz.
The FWT employs commonly used frequency modulation (FM)
techniques. When you use your unit, the cellular system handling
your call controls the power level at which your unit transmits.
The power level can range from 0.006-watt to 3 watts.
Exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) Energy
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992,
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI
Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. After
reviewing the available body of research, more than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry developed
this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of your Raytheon RAYCOM Cellular complies with this
updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure
even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to
control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the
most power-efficient manner.
Safe Operation Requirement
Do not operate your Raycom when any person is within 16 inches (40 cm) of
the antenna.
Your RAYCOM must be placed or mounted on a flat surface to allow proper ventila-
tion. Do not block the air vents as this could cause the unit to overheat and fail.
