7、NSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave. WARNING This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as Occupational Use Only, meaning it must be use

8、d only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is not in- tended for use by the General Population in an uncontrolled environment. CAUTION To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowabl

9、e limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: SAFETY INFORMATION This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncon- trolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work re- lated operations only where the radio operator must have

10、the knowledge to control its RF exposure conditions. H When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from your head and body. H The radio must be used with a maximum oper

11、ating duty cycle not exceed- ing 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk (Manual PTT) configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50 % of total radio use time (50 % duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50 % of the time can cause FCC RF expo- sure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitt

12、ing when the red LED on the front panel of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT button.

ABOUT VHF MARINE RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentia

16、lly “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range de- pends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. The approximate distance a portable 5W radio may communicate is about 5

17、miles in if there are no obstructions (build- ings, hills etc.) restricting line of sight transmission. HX270SPage 3 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION Standard Horizon radios comply with the Federal Communication Commis- sion (FCC) requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service. PROHIBITED COMMUN

18、ICATIONS The FCC prohibits the following communications: H False distress or emergency messages: H Messages to “any boat” except in emergencies and radio tests; H Messages to or from a vessel on land; H Transmission while on land; H Obscene, indecent, or profane language (potential fine of $10,000).

19、 STATION LICENSE An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in U.S. waters which uses a VHF marine radio, RADAR or EPIRB, and which is not required to carry radio equipment. FCC license forms, including applica- tions for ship (506) and land station licenses can be do

20、wnloaded via the Internet at www.fcc.gov/formpage.html. To obtain a form from the FCC, call (888) 225-5322.
