3SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONWARNINGYour M/A-COM radio generates RFelectromagnetic energy during transmitmode. This radio is designed for andclassified as “Occupational Use Only”meaning it must be used only duringthe course of employment by individuals aware of thehazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. Thisradio is NOT intended for use by the “GeneralPopulation” in an uncontrolled environment.This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RFexposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition,your M/A-COM radio complies with the following Standardsand Guidelines with regard to RF energy andelectromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of suchlevels for exposure to humans:• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C,Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for HumanExposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992),IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to HumanExposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz.• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992),IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement ofPotentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF andMicrowave.
4CAUTIONTo ensure that your exposure to RFelectromagnetic energy is within theFCC allowable limits for occupationaluse, always adhere to the followingguidelines:• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antennaattached, as this may damage the radio and may alsocause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Aproper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radioby M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized byM/A-COM for use with this radio.• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio usetime (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50%of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliancerequirements to be exceeded. The radio istransmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in thedisplay. You can cause the radio to transmit bypressing the “PTT” button.• ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories(antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc).Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCCOccupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliancerequirements to be exceeded.• ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2cm (0.8 inches) from the body and at least 5 cm (2inches) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCCRF exposure compliance requirements are not
5exceeded. This radio has been tested for RFexposure compliance at a distance of 1.1 cm from thebody and 2.5 cm from the face for a worst-casescenario. However, to provide the recipients of yourtransmission the best sound quality, hold the antennaat least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off toone side.The information listed above provides the user with theinformation needed to make him or her aware of a RFexposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operateswithin the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your M/A-COM radio generates RFenergy that can possibly cause interference with otherdevices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn offthe radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DONOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive toelectromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, andblasting sites.
6OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONSTwo-way FM radio systems must be operated inaccordance with the rules and regulations of the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC). As an operator oftwo-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiarwith the rules that apply to your particular type of radiooperation. Following these rules will help eliminateconfusion and will assure the most efficient use of existingradio channels. This will provide a smooth operating radionetwork.When using the radio, remember these rules:1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress oremergency message. As the radio operates in muchthe same way as a telephone "party line" when inconventional mode, always listen and/or observe theabsence of the “busy” display (refer to Table 1 – ThreeLine Display for display character) to make sure thatthe line is clear before sending any messages. Ifsomeone is sending an emergency message, such asreporting a fire or asking for help in an accident, KEEPOFF THE AIR! Emergency calls have priority over allother messages.2. Use of profane or obscene language is prohibited byFederal Law.3. It is against the law to send false call letters or a falsedistress or emergency message.
74. The FCC requires that conversations be brief andconfined to business. To save time, use codedmessages whenever possible.5. Using the radio to send personal messages (except inan emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send onlythose messages essential for the business operation.6. It is against Federal Law to repeat or otherwise makeknown anything overheard on the radio. Conversationsbetween others sharing your channel must beregarded as confidential.
8OPERATING TIPSThe following conditions tend to reduce the effectiverange of two-way radios and should be avoided wheneverpossible.• Operating the radio in low terrain areas or while underpower lines or bridges.•Operating the radio inside of a vehicle or inside metalor steel framed building unless using an outsideantenna.
9BATTERY DISPOSALThe JAGUAR 725P and Pi portable radios userechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or NickelMetal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.Nickel Cadmium Battery Pack DisposalAt the end of its useful life, undervarious state and local laws, it maybe illegal to dispose of the NickelCadmium batteries into themunicipal waste stream. Check withlocal solid waste officials for detailsof recycling options or proper disposal. Call Toll Free 1-800-8BATTERY for information and/or procedures forreturning rechargeable batteries in your state.Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Pack DisposalThere are no special requirements concerning thedisposal of NiMH batteries.

10USER INTERFACEThis manual describes the basic functions andoperation of the 725P & 725Pi System/Scan portableradios. For more detailed information about the featuresand operation refer to the appropriate Maintenance Manualor contact your System Administrator.Water ResistanceThe Jaguar 725P and Pi portable radios operatereliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meetMIL-STD-810E specifications for driven rain, humidity, andsalt fog. In addition, the Pi model radio is guaranteed foroperation after immersion in 1 foot of water for up to 2hours. It is important to note that in order to help preservethe water-resistant integrity of this radio, unauthorizedtampering or disassembly of the Pi model radio maydamage the radio and will void the immersion warranty.NOTEThe “i” in JAGUAR 725Pi denotes theradio model is resistant to damage dueto water immersion. For more precisespecifications refer to the appropriatespecifications sheet or contact yoursystem administrator.
