Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for
Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed on Maritime Vessels
If mobile radio equipment is installed on a vessel and operated as a fixed unit, the
antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to
ensure optimal performance and compliance with RF energy exposure limits in
the standards and guidelines listed on page 4:
• An antenna intended for Maritime operation should be chosen and installed
according to the manufacturers recommendations.
• The antennas should be mounted solidly to the vessel structure at the highest
location possible.
• As with all radio antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the operator to
maintain adequate distances from the antenna and all personnel on board the
vessel or adjacent to the vessel.
• For additional installation information, see the guidelines for minimum
separation distances proved above in the RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions section of this document.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be necessary to
conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equipment used
in or around vehicles or near fixed site antenna is sensitive to external RF
energy or if any procedures need to be followed to eliminate or mitigate the
potential for interaction between the radio transmitter and the equipment
or device.
