Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed
as Fixed Site Control Stations
If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a fixed unit,
the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure optimal performance
and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards and guidelines listed on page 4:
Ÿ The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.
Ÿ As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the site in ac-
cordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may require additional compliance actions such as
site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits
are not exceeded.
Ÿ For additional installation information, see the guidelines for minimum separation distances provided
above in the RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions section of this
document.
Electromagnetic Interference/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 elimi-
nate 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 sensi-
tive to external RF energy.
