RF
FIELD EXPOSURE
This transceiver
is
capable
of
power output
in
excess
of
50 Watts, so customers
in
the
United States
may be required to demonstrate compliance with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regulations concerning maximum permissible exposure to radio fre-
quency energy. Compliance
is
based on the actual power output used, feedline loss, an-
tenna type and height, and other factors which can only be evaluated as a system.
Information regarding these regulations may be available from your Dealer, your local
radio club, from the FCC directly (press releases and other information can be found on the
FCC's site on the World Wide
Web
at <http://www.fcc.gov>), or from the American Radio
Relay League, Inc. (225 Main St., Newington CT
06111 or <http://www.arrl.org>).
Although there is negligible radio frequency (RF) leakage from the FT
-100 transceiver
itself, its antenna system should be located as far away from humans and animals as prac-
ticable, so
as
to avoid the possibility
of
shock due to accidental contact with the antenna or
excessive long-term exposure to
RF
energy. During mobile operation, do not transmit if
someone
is
standing adjacent to your antenna, and use the lowest power possible.
Never stand
in
front
of
an
antenna (during testing or operation) when
RF
power
is
applied,
especially
in
the case
of
430 MHz directional arrays. The 20 Watt power output supplied
by the FT
-100, combined with the directivity
of
a beam antenna, can cause immediate
heating
of
human or animal tissues, and may cause other undesirable medical effects.
