1 General OverviewThe DM-3010 Digital Transceiver is a narrowband mobile transceiver specificallydesigned for DV/IP format digital transmissions used on the i2way Network. Theradio receives and transmits i2way Network signals containing audio (voice), textand control data. i2way Network signals contain call control information,streaming digital voice and customer payload data. i2way format stations do notrespond to or “hear” analog transmissions, or any other “foreign” form of digitaltransmission.The DM-3010 Digital Transceiver is available in various models that cover the138-520 MHz bands. The radio receives and transmits data at 10,000 bps usingfour level frequency shift keying (“4FSK”) in 12.5 kHz spaced channels and at5,000 bps in 6.25 kHz spaced channels. The radio’s construction is modular, and may be field-repaired by afactory-certified technician by replacing plug-in modules. It may be configured insingle channel “conventional” or multi-channel “trunked” modes. Multi-channelsystems are typically trunked, with one channel operating as the “control channel”and the remaining channels as “transaction channels”.This manual details the version for 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz spaced channels inthe 406-470 MHz bands. This radio may be used in international service down to380 MHz.2 InstallationThe DM-3010 radio is designed to be installed either in a vehicle, in a railroadlocomotive or indoors. It is has no moving parts or switch contacts. 2.1 Unpacking after Shipment Receipt The station is normally shipped in a cardboard carton protected in a plasticsuspension mount. The unit is ready-to-operate, and generally the only includedaccessories are the microphone, loudspeaker and cables. Do not apply power tothe radio unless a suitable antenna or load is connected to the transmitteroutput. In the United States and Canada this radio requires a suitable FCC orIndustry Canada license to operate.DM-3010 Mobile Radio Transceiver- Instruction ManualPublication PN 09-05-0003-01 ©2007 Digital Wireless Corporation Page 1 Version -04 24 JAN 07
2.2 MountingThe radio is intended to be installed either with the transceiver unit mounted in avehicle trunk, under a seat or in any other convenient, protected location, and theradio’s “control head” (control panel) unit mounted in a location accessible to theoperator. Two different brackets are available to facilitate mounting of the controlhead, an adjustable angle trunion mount and a flush-mounting bracket. Theloudspeaker, which mounts on its own trunion mount, should be installed in alocation where the front of the speaker faces towards the operator without anyobstructions. The transceiver may be secured to any surface using four self-tapping screws.Mount the transceiver in a location where it is protected from the weather anddirt. Reasonable air flow around the heat sink fins should be provided. Normallythe unit does not get hot, however after extensive transmitting, or under unusualconditions, the heat sink fins of the radio may get warm or hot and care shouldbe taken to prevent accidental exposure to human skin. Optional rubber shock mounts are available to assist in mounting the radio inlocations that present extreme shock and vibration.2.3 DC Power ConnectionThe radio is intended to be powered from normal “12 volt” vehicle power systems.Such 12 volt systems actually operate normally between 12 and 15 volts. The redand black “zip cord” power cable should normally be connected directly acrossthe a vehicle battery. The provided in-line fuse should be installed in the positive(RED) lead as close to the battery as possible in order to protect the cable fromaccidental shorts. In locomotive applications an external 72 volt to 12 volt powerconvertor rated at a minimum of 10 amps continuous is required.The power cable should be installed in the vehicle in such as way that it is notliable to accidentally be shorted to ground. It is advisable to shield the powercable where possible with “split loom” or other form of durable cable protection.Where the power cable passes through the firewall or any other metal bulkhead orbracket, ensure that proper grommets or other insulation protection devices areused to prevent rubbing and chafing of the insulation against sharp metal edges,which can cause shorts. If the vehicle’s power supply is suspected of “alternator whine” or other powerproblems, a 10 amp DC line filter should be installed, close to the battery.

2.6 Environmental Considerations The radio is normally intended to be operated in environments that aremaintained between -30° C and +50° C. The nominal operating temperature is+25° C ±3° C (77° F ±5° F). Please consult the factory for installation assistance inenvironments that vary from these parameters.The radio can be operated with a relative humidity of less than 95% at altitudesbelow 10,000 feet above sea level. Storage temperature range (unpowered) is from-40° C and +70° C.2.7 Exposure to Radio Frequency EnergyThe DM-1000 Digital Transceiver is a “mobile radio” and is intended to have itsantenna properly installed externally on a vehicle where the center of radiation(the antenna) when transmitting does not cause human exposure beyond safelimits. During installation planning, care should be taken to research andunderstand relevant government radiation regulations and to ensure that the finalinstallation will meet such regulations. Since every installation is unique,radiation safety is beyond the scope of this manual. Transmit only when peopleinside and outside the vehicle are at least the minimum distance away from aproperly installed, externally-mounted antenna. When the radio is nottransmitting, no non-ionizing radio frequency electromagnetic energy are beingradiated. 2.8 Mandatory Safety Instructions to InstallersThe minimum safe distance from a person(s) to the antenna when this radio istransmitting is at least 41 inches or 1 meter.The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard forhuman exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy, which is below OSHA(Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.Antenna Minimum Safe Distance: 41 inches or 1.0 meterAntenna Gain: 2.5 dBi maximum.Antenna Mounting: The antenna should be a fixed-mounted, properly installed,externally-mounted antenna with a minimum safe distance (when transmitting)for general Population/Uncontrolled Exposure of at least 41 inches or 1 meter. DM-3010 Mobile Radio Transceiver- Instruction ManualPublication PN 09-05-0003-01 ©2007 Digital Wireless Corporation Page 4 Version -04 24 JAN 07
Warning: Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to a person(s) of atleast 41 inches (when transmitting) for general Population / UncontrolledExposure.The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements ofOccupational/Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-related use. Transmitonly when person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properlyinstalled, externally mounted antenna.The best location for an antenna is in the center of a large, flat, conductive metalarea. In many vehicles, this requirement is satisfied by mounting the antenna inthe center of the roof. If the trunk lid is used, connect suitable grounding strapsbetween the trunk lid and the vehicle chassis to ensure that the trunk lid is achassis ground. 2.9 Operational Warnings 2.9.1 Vehicles with Air BagsDo not install this radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deploymentarea. Air bags inflate with great force with no warning. If this radio is place in thedeployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be projected with greatforce and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle Installation in vehicles with air bags should be performed by a installer/technicianqualified in the requirements of such installations. Contact the vehicle’smanufacturer for specific air bag information and requirements for your specificmake, model of vehicle and configuration. 2.9.2 Explosive AtmospheresTurn off your two-way radio when you are in an area with potentially explosiveatmosphere.

5 Control Station InstallationThe DM-3010 mobile transceiver may be used as a fixed-mounted “controlstation” in a building. It may be powered from a suitable AC power supply whichprovides 12.2 to 15 volts at 10 amps. A factory-built desktop power supply isavailable from Digital Wireless which provides suitable mounting for the radio’stransceiver and control head and provides the necessary AC power supply as wellas a standby battery. A 19 inch wide rack-mounting version is also availablewhich also provides connections for Digital Wireless-provided “local remote”telephone-style desksets and an enhanced desktop dispatch console.5.1 Fixed AntennaWhen the radio is installed indoors, a suitable outdoor antenna must be utilized.The antenna should be installed outside the building in such a location as tocomply with the minimum spacing requirements as specified in paragraph 2 ofthis manual. When used as a control station or for other fixed usage, the relevant regulatoryeffective radiated power (ERP) regulations much be consulted in order to selectthe correct type of antenna, transmission line and installation location in order tocomply with regulations concerning radio frequency emissions exposure. 5.2 Transmission LineWhen a transmission line (antenna cable) is used to connect to an externalantenna mounted on a roof, external pole or tower, suitable grounding must beprovided where the cable enters the building and close to the radio. Extremecaution must be used to ensure that the antenna does not come in contact withpower lines. It is also recommended that a suitable lightning protection device be installed inthe transmission line and connected to a suitable ground connection. A suitableground connection is generally a purpose-installed ground rod driven into theearth and not the neutral or ground wire of a building’s electrical wiring.DM-3010 Mobile Radio Transceiver- Instruction ManualPublication PN 09-05-0003-01 ©2007 Digital Wireless Corporation Page 10 Version -04 24 JAN 07
