accessible. Components shall be easily identifiable, either by markings within the equipment or with the
aid of the technical description.
The equipment shall be so designed that the main units can be replaced readily, without elaborate
recalibration or readjustment.
4.1.4 Illumination
Means shall be provided for reducing, to extinction, the output of any light source on the equipment.
4.1.5 Interfaces
Connection of, or failure within, any external circuits shall not degrade the performance of the equipment.

4.2.1 General
All controls, instruments, monitoring devices and input/output points shall be clearly labelled.
All controls shall be of sufficient size to enable the usual control functions to be easily performed.
4.2.2 Controls
Only the following controls shall be provided on the exterior of the equipment:
- on/off switch;
- volume control for adjusting the audio frequency power as described in subclause 7.1;
- control for reducing the brightness of light sources, as described in subclause 4.1.4;

The status of all the controls shall be clearly indicated.
4.2.4 Misuse
The equipment shall be so designed that the misuse of the controls shall not cause damage to the
equipment or injury to personnel.

designation of the equipment and serial number.
4.3.3 Compass safe distance
The compass safe distance according to ISO Recommendation 694 Method B [3] shall be declared by the
manufacturer and marked on the equipment.
4.4 Safety precautions
4.4.1 Protection
Provisions shall be made for protecting the equipment from damage if the power supply is subjected to
transient voltage changes and from damage by accidental reversal of the polarity of the power supply.
4.4.2 Earthing
Means shall be provided for earthing exposed metallic parts of the equipment, but this shall not cause any
terminal of the source of energy to be earthed.
4.4.3 Antenna static protection
In order to provide protection against damage due to static voltage which may appear at the input of the
receiver, there shall be a dc path from the antenna terminal to the chassis not exceeding 100 kΩ.
4.4.4 Access
All parts and wiring in which the direct or alternating voltages or both combine to give a peak voltage
greater than 50 V, shall be protected against accidental access and shall be isolated automatically from all
sources of electrical energy when the protective covers are removed.
Alternatively, the equipment shall be so constructed that access to such voltages may only be gained after
having used a tool for this purpose, such as a spanner or a screwdriver, and warning labels shall be
prominently displayed both within the equipment and on the protective covers.
4.5 Tuning
