4 INSTALLATION NOTE
The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner as to re-
spect 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 maximum efficiency and that this
installation height should be at least 5 meters above ground (or accessible)
level. In the case that an antenna can not be installed at a reasonable height,
then the transmitter should neither be continuously operated for long periods if
any person is within 5 metres 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 transmitter 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.
