By itself, this system is not subject to radiation protection control. When connected to

an RT-524/VRC Amplifier, this system is able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in

excess of the safety standard.

Hazard distance from antenna ....

When connected to an RT-524/VRC Amplifier, exclude personnel to a distance of 1 m

from the antenna.

RF shock/burn .....................

Observe standard RF shock precautions. Do not touch the antenna when energized.

Other.................................

Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
