SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a
close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting
antenna at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 and 10 W/m
2
exist are given in the table
below.
Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house,
your administration may require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antenna
revolution. This is possible—Ask your FURUNO representative or dealer to provide
this feature.
Stay away from transmitting antenna.
The radar antenna emits microwave radiation which can be harmful to the
human body, particularly the eyes. Never look directly into the antenna
radiator from a distance of less than 1 m when the radar is in operation.
