Antenna Selection and Installation

Your UM425 has been designed to accommodate all of the popular marine
VHF antennas. However, the selection and the proper installation of the
antenna is the responsibility of the user or installer.
The FCC has determined that excessive radiation poses a health risk to
people near radio transmitting antennas. Therefore, the antenna used with
this radio should be installed using the following guidelines to ensure a safe
distance between the antenna and persons close by.
• Small whip antennas (3 dB) or smaller should be installed with at least 3
feet away from any area where people are likely to be.
• Larger antennas (6 dB or 9 dB) should be installed with at least 6 feet
away.
• While the radio is transmitting, do not come closer to the antenna than
the recommended safe distance.
• Do not touch the antenna when the radio is powered on and might begin
transmitting.
