1/ Because of recent occurrences of authorized operation at 406 MHz, the US Coast Guard and

NOAA have asked us to implement a program to notify the equipment manufacturers, service personnel and users that the frequency band 406 - 406.1 MHz is reserved for use by distress beacons. Such steps should include a warning in the users manual. The ultimate protection would be software to lockout this frequency band. Please indicate what measures you will take in this matter.

Verify that this frequency band will NOT be programmed into the preprogrammed channels.

Maxon subscribes to the same safety standard for the use of its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act and Federal Communications Commission limits.

This standard requires that:

1. Any space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space in which the LP gas container and

its fittings are located.

2. Remote (outside) filling connections shall be vented to the outside.

are properly terminated.

All equipment must be properly grounded for safe operation.

All equipment should be serviced by a qualified technician.
