Antenna Requirements
and Attachment
WARNING
Do not transmit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna unless
that person or persons are shielded from the antenna by a grounded metallic
barrier. This is especially important on vessels with antennas mounted as
described in B where no one may be within 9 ft (2,8 m) horizontally from the
base of the antenna during transmissions.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ABOVE LIMITS MAY EXPOSE THOSE WITHIN
THE MPE RADIUS TO RF ENERGY ABSORPTION IN EXCESS OF THE FCC
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE. IT IS THE RADIO OPERATOR’S
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT MPE LIMITS ARE HEEDED AND THAT
NO ONE IS WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS DURING TRANSMISSIONS.
Antenna Lead Attachment
Once the antenna is installed, the Coaxial Cable Lead can
be attached to the coaxial cable socket at the back of the
transceiver.
NOTICE
Attempting to transmit without an antenna attached
will damage your CobraMarine VHF radio.
