communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will

not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

DRAFT

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes and modifications not express ly approved by the manufa cturer

or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this
equipment under Federal Communications Commission rules.

Safety Information

DRAFT

This section identifies all of the warnings provided in this manual. Failure to observe
warnings may result in personal injury or damage to equipment and machinery.

Safety messages

Always follow the instructions that accompany a Danger, Warning, or Caution. The
information they provide is intended to minimize the risk of personal injury and/or
damage to property . In particular, observe safety instructions that are presented in the
following formats:

C
C

C

Cautions

C

DANGER – This alert warns of an imminent hazard which, if not avoided, will cause severe

injury or death.

WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, can cause severe

injury.

CAUTION – This alert warns of a hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided, can case
injury or damage.

Note – An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks
involved.

CAUTION – Exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy is an important safety consideration. The
FCC has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC-regulated equipment as a result of its actions in General Docket 79-144 on March 13,

1986. Proper use of this radio results in exposure below government limits. Trimble
recommends the following precautions:

• Do not operate the transmitter when someone is within 20 cm (7.8 inches) of the antenna.

• Do not operate the transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and any open

connectors are properly terminated.

• Do not operate the transmitter near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

• Do not co-locate the antenna with any other transmitting device.
