Warnings and Safety Notices

WARNING: This product, its packaging, and

its components contain chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,

or reproductive harm. This Notice is provided in

accordance with California's Proposition 65. See

www.garmin.com/prop65 for more information.

NotIce: To prevent possible damage to your

radio, the antenna must be connected to the radio

before transmitting. This ensures that the power

output to the antenna port dissipates properly when

transmitting.

Electromagnetic Energy Exposure and

Antenna Mounting

Your VHF radio generates and radiates radio frequency

(RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). Failure to observe

these guidelines may expose persons to RF radiation

absorption exceeding the maximum permissible exposure

(MPE).

Garmin declares an MPE radius of 59 in. (1.5 m.) for

this system, which was determined using 25 watts output

to an omni-directional 9 dBi gain antenna. The antenna

should be installed such that a distance of 59 in. (1.5 m) is

maintained between the antenna and all persons.

WARNING: Radio operators with cardiac

pacemakers, life-support machines, or electrical

medical equipment should not be exposed to

excessive radio-frequency fields.

WARNING: Operate the device in accordance with

the instructions supplied.

NotIce: The device complies with internationally

recognized standards covering human exposure to

electromagnetic fields from radio devices.

NotIce: Check with the local authorities for any

antenna or operational restrictions that may apply.

Safe Compass Distance

Ensure that you install your VHF radio at least 20 in.

(500 mm) from any compass. Test your compass to verify

that it operates correctly when the radio is operating.
