SAFETY AND HAZARD
Do not operate your Yacht Router and/or add-on modules:
- In areas where blasting is in progress.
- Where explosive atmospheres may be present including refueling points, fuel depots, and chemical plants.
- Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference.
In such areas, the Yacht Router and add-on modules MUST BE POWERED OFF.
Otherwise, they can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
In an aircraft, the Yacht Router and add-on modules MUST BE POWERED OFF.
Otherwise, the Yacht Router and addon modules can transmit signals that could
interfere with various onboard systems and may be dangerous to the operation
of the aircraft or disrupt the cellular network. Use of cellular and WIFI
equipment in an aircraft is illegal in some jurisdictions. Failure to observe
this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the
offender, or legal action or both.
IMPORTANT : It is solely on the end-user to set the transmitting power value for WIFI Booster to comply with the regulations of the country where the product will be used. Regulations and online WIFI power calculators (EIRP – Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power) are widely available on the Internet. Locomarine Networks d.o.o. cannot by responsible by any means for improper setup. Transmission power is set and regulated via Yacht Router Control software.
IMPORTANT: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
63 cm minimum distance has to be maintained between the antenna and the
occupational user and 142 cm to the general public. Under such a
configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for a
population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.
List of approved antennas: Omni Directional (pole), model Locomarine MOB 7
ANTENNA INSTALLATION: antennas from other products MUST NOT BE CO-LOCATED within 20 cm range to each other to satisfy FCC regulations.
WARNING : It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that when using the authorized antennas in the United States (or where FCC rules apply); only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas, according to country regulations and per antenna type. Professional installation is required of equipment with connectors to ensure compliance with health and safety issues.
