Vertex Standard VXD-7200 Operating Manual page 11

(in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
Ÿ Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral
distance away, as shown in Table 1, from the body of a vehicle with a properly installed antenna.
This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed (according to
installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the stan-
dards listed above.
NOTE: Table 1 below lists the recommended lateral distance for people in an uncontrolled environment
from the body of a vehicle with an approved, properly installed transmitting antenna (i.e., mono-
poles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at several different ranges of rated radio power for mobile
radios installed in a vehicle.
Table 1. Rated Power of Vehicle-Installed Mobile Two-Way Radio and
Mobile Radio Rated Power (see Note)
Ÿ When a mobile radio is used in conjunction with another co-located transmitter such as a Vehicular
Repeater, it is the vehicle operator's responsibility to take appropriate steps to keep bystanders at the
required separation distance from the vehicle to ensure compliance with the FCC's RF energy exposure
limits for the general population. See the co-located transmitter's user manual for more details.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the rated power of your radio, contact your Vertex Standard representative or
dealer and supply the radio model number found on the radio model label. If you can not determine
the rated power out, then assure 3-feet separation from the body of the vehicle. The maximum power
shown on the FCC Grant may be higher than the rated power allowing for production variation.
