IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and
the Coast Guard by sending a Distress call on Channel 16.
Or, transmit your Distress call using digital selective calling
on Channel 70.
INSTALLATION NOTE
The installation of this equipment should be made in such a
manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic
field exposure limits (1999/519/EC).
The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts.
The antenna should be installed as high as possible for maxi-
mum efficiency and that this installation height should be at
least 5 meters above ground (or accessible) level. In the case
where an antenna cannot be installed at a reasonable height,
then the transmitter should neither be continuously operated for
long periods if any person is within 5 meters of the antenna, nor
operated at all if any person is touching the antenna.
In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter being
activated for long periods. (actual recommendation limits are
specified as an average of 6 minutes) Normally the transmit-
ter is not active for long periods of time. Some radio licenses
will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter
after 1–2 minutes etc.
Similarly some types of transmitter, SSB, CW, AM, etc. have
a lower ‘average’ output power and the perceived risk is even
lower.
