(bystanders) outside the vehicle are within the distances shown in the chart at
the bottom of this section.
Safety Training information:
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 0 dBd.
The radio must be used in vehicle-mount configurations with a maximum oper-
ating duty factor not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk configurations.
This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only
where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure
conditions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum
separation distance shown below.
Antenna Installation:
For rear deck trunk installation, the antenna must be located at least the
following distance away from rear-seat passengers.
For roof top installations, the antenna must be placed in the center of the roof.
45/50 W
Warning!
The 70.7 V RF voltage (@45/50 W/50 Ω) or 50.0 V RF voltage (@25 W/50 Ω) is
applied to the antenna terminal of the transciver while transmitting.
Do not touch the TX RF section absolutely while transmitting.
Caution: The radio can become hot.
Do not operate the radio continuously in transmission mode for longer than 7
minutes. Ensure enough standby/reception time for cool-down between trans-
mission periods. Be sure that TOT timer is correctly installed and properly
working. Avoid touching the rear bottom of the transceiver's body while trans-
mission.
