SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING

Your M/A-COM radio generates RF

electromagnetic energy during transmit

mode. This radio is designed for and

classified as “Occupational Use Only”

meaning it must be used only during

the course of employment by individuals aware of the

hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This

radio is NOT intended for use by the “General

Population” in an uncontrolled environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF

exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition,

your M/A-COM radio complies with the following Standards

and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and

electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such

levels for exposure to humans:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C,

Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human

Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992),

IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human

Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3

kHz to 300 GHz.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992),

IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of

Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and

Microwave.

CAUTION

To ensure that your exposure to RF

electromagnetic energy is within the

FCC allowable limits for occupational

use, always adhere to the following

guidelines:

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna

attached, as this may damage the radio and may also

cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A

proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio

by M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by

M/A-COM for use with this radio.

• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use

time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50%

of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements to be exceeded. The radio is

transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the

display. You can cause the radio to transmit by

pressing the “PTT” button.

• ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories

(antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc).

Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC

Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance

requirements to be exceeded.

• ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2

cm (0.8 inches) from the body and at least 5 cm (2

inches) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC

RF exposure compliance requirements are not

exceeded. This radio has been tested for RF

exposure compliance at a distance of 1.1 cm from the

body and 2.5 cm from the face for a worst-case

scenario. However, to provide the recipients of your

transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna

at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to

one side.

The information listed above provides the user with the

information needed to make him or her aware of a RF

exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates

within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your M/A-COM radio generates RF

energy that can possibly cause interference with other

devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off

the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO

NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to

electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and

blasting sites.

OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS

Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in

accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of

two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar

with the rules that apply to your particular type of radio

operation. Following these rules will help eliminate

confusion and will assure the most efficient use of existing

radio channels. This will provide a smooth operating radio

network.

When using the radio, remember these rules:

1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or

emergency message. As the radio operates in much

the same way as a telephone "party line" when in

conventional mode, always listen and/or observe the

absence of the “busy” display (refer to Table 1 – Three

Line Display for display character) to make sure that

the line is clear before sending any messages. If

someone is sending an emergency message, such as

reporting a fire or asking for help in an accident, KEEP

OFF THE AIR! Emergency calls have priority over all

other messages.

2. Use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by

Federal Law.

3. It is against the law to send false call letters or a false

distress or emergency message.

4. The FCC requires that conversations be brief and

confined to business. To save time, use coded

messages whenever possible.

5. Using the radio to send personal messages (except in

an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send only

those messages essential for the business operation.

6. It is against Federal Law to repeat or otherwise make

known anything overheard on the radio. Conversations

between others sharing your channel must be

regarded as confidential.

OPERATING TIPS

The following conditions tend to reduce the effective

range of two-way radios and should be avoided whenever

possible.

• Operating the radio in low terrain areas or while under

power lines or bridges.

•Operating the radio inside of a vehicle or inside metal

or steel framed building unless using an outside

antenna.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

The JAGUAR 725P and Pi portable radios use

rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel

Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Nickel Cadmium Battery Pack Disposal

At the end of its useful life, under

various state and local laws, it may

be illegal to dispose of the Nickel

Cadmium batteries into the

municipal waste stream. Check with

local solid waste officials for details

of recycling options or proper disposal. Call Toll Free 1-

800-8BATTERY for information and/or procedures for

returning rechargeable batteries in your state.

Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Pack Disposal

There are no special requirements concerning the

disposal of NiMH batteries. Batteries can be recycled. Call

Toll Free 1-800-8BATTERY for information.

USER INTERFACE

This manual describes the basic functions and

operation of the 725P & 725Pi System/Scan portable

radios. For more detailed information about the features

and operation refer to the appropriate Maintenance Manual

or contact your System Administrator.

Water Resistance

The Jaguar 725P and Pi portable radios operate

reliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meet

MIL-STD-810E specifications for driven rain, humidity, and

salt fog. In addition, the Pi model radio is guaranteed for

operation after immersion in 1 foot of water for up to 2

hours. It is important to note that in order to help preserve

the water-resistant integrity of this radio, unauthorized

tampering or disassembly of the Pi model radio may

damage the radio and will void the immersion warranty.

NOTE

The “i” in JAGUAR 725Pi denotes the

radio model is resistant to damage due

to water immersion. For more precise

specifications refer to the appropriate

specifications sheet or contact your

system administrator.
