VHF Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure
Radio-frequency fields generated by a VHF/AIS antenna may interfere with medical devices. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer with questions.
This device generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). Failure to observe these guidelines may expose people to RF radiation absorption exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE).
Garmin® declares an MPE radius of 2.48 m (97.64 in.) for this system, which was determined using 5 W output to an omni-directional, 6 dBi gain antenna. The antenna should be installed to maintain a distance of 2.48 m (97.64 in.) between the antenna and all people.
