Caution - RF Radiation Hazard
The antenna transmits radio frequency
(RF) energy that is potentially harmful.
Whenever the system is powered on,
make sure everyone stays more than 32 feet
(10 meters) away from the antenna within its
5º-75º look angle. No hazard exists directly above
the antenna and anywhere below the antenna’s
mounting plane.
Note: You can program up to two RF radiation hazard
zones to prevent transmissions within areas frequented
by passengers/crew. Refer to the User’s Guide for details.
