Chapter 1 - Introduction
Important Safety Information
For your own safety, and for the safety of your passengers and/or
crew, be sure to read the following important notices.
Warning - Risk of Electric Shock
Potentially lethal voltages are present within the control unit and the
modem. To avoid electric shock, do not open the chassis enclosures of
the belowdecks equipment. They contain no user-serviceable parts,
and opening the enclosure(s) will void the product’s warranty.
Caution - RF Radiation Hazard
The antenna transmits radio frequency (RF) energy that is potentially
harmful. Whenever the system is powered on, make sure all personnel
stay more than 36 feet (11 m) away from the antenna within its 5°-80°
elevation range. No hazard exists 2 feet (0.6 m) directly above the
antenna and 2 feet (0.6 m) below the antenna’s centerline.
Figure 1-1 Safe Distances from the Antenna to Avoid Risk of RF Radiation Exposure
NOTE: Using the control unit, you can set up RF radiation hazard zones to
inhibit transmissions within areas frequented by your passengers and/or
crew. See “Configuring RF Radiation Hazard Zones” on page 23 for
details.
