SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 
WARNING
The M/A-COM P7100IP portable 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. 
The P7100IP portable radio has been tested and complies 
with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use 
Only.”  In addition, this 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. 

4 
•  American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), 
IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of 
Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF 
and Microwave. 
RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES 
CAUTION
To ensure that 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 the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded.  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.  (Refer to Table 2 – 
Options and Accessories.) 
•  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. The radio will transmit by pressing the “PTT” 
button. 
5 
•  Always transmit using low power (refer to High/Low 
Power Adjustment section) when possible.  In addition 
to conserving battery charge, low power can reduce 
RF exposure. 
•  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.  (Refer to Table 2 – 
Options and Accessories.) 
•  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 the distances listed in Table 1.  
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 in this section provides the information 
needed to make the user 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, this 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. 
7 
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 3 – 
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.  
8 
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.  
9 
OPERATING TIPS 
Antenna location and condition are important when 
operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low lying 
areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a 
vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce 
the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range 
of the unit.  
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some 
improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the 
antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction 
or moving to a higher elevation may also improve 
communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the 
use of an externally mounted antenna.  
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble 
free operation of a portable radio. Always properly charge 
the batteries.  
EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION 
Hold the portable radio approximately three inches from 
your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal 
voice level.  
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or 
transmitting a message.  
Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message and, 
especially, do not hold when transmitting a message.  

10 
WARNING
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when 
transmitting! 
Antenna Care and Replacement 
WARNING
Always keep the antenna at least 0.8 inches 
(2 cm.) away from the body and 2 inches (5 
cm.) from the face when transmitting to 
ensure FCC RF exposure compliance 
requirements are not exceeded. 
WARNING
Do not use the portable radio with a damaged 
or missing antenna. A minor burn may result 
if a damaged antenna comes into contact 
with the skin. Replace a damaged antenna 
immediately. Operating a portable radio with 
the antenna missing could cause personal 
injury, damage the radio, and may violate 
FCC regulations. 

11 
WARNING
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. 
Unauthorized antennas, modifications or 
attachments could cause damage to the radio 
unit and may violate FCC regulations.  (Refer 
to Table 2 – Options and Accessories.) 
Electronic Devices 
CAUTION
RF energy from portable radios may affect 
some electronic equipment. Most modern 
electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, 
homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. 
However, in areas in which you are instructed 
to turn off two-way radio equipment, always 
observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off! 
Aircraft 
WARNING
Always turn off a portable radio before 
boarding any aircraft! 
•  Use it on the ground only with crew 
permission. 
•  DO NOT use while in-flight!! 

12 
Blasting Areas  
WARNING
Turn two-way radios OFF when in a "blasting 
area" or in areas posted "turn off two-way 
radio." Remote control RF devices are used 
by some construction crews to detonate 
explosives. 
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres 
WARNING
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere 
are often, but not always, clearly marked. 
These may be fueling areas, such as gas 
stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage 
facilities, and areas where the air contains 
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or 
metal powders. 
Sparks in such areas could cause an 
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or 
even death. 
Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area 
with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is 
rare, but not impossible that a radio or its 
accessories could generate sparks. 

13 
BATTERY DISPOSAL 
The P7100IP series portable radios use rechargeable, 
recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel Metal Hydride 
(NiMH) batteries. 
NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERY 
At the end of its useful life, under 
various state and local laws, it may be 
illegal to dispose of Nickel Cadmium 
batteries into the municipal waste 
stream. Check with local solid waste 
officials for recycling options and proper
disposal.  Call Toll Free 1-800-8BATTERY for information 
and/or procedures for returning rechargeable batteries in 
your state. 
NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY 
There are no special requirements concerning the disposal 
of NiMH batteries.  Batteries can be recycled.  Call Toll 
Free 1-800-8BATTERY for information.

OPERATION FOLLOWING WATER CONTACT 
If the P7100IP model radio has been immersed in water or if

with water, follow instructions under “Radio Microphone 
and Radio Speaker” to assure the highest quality 
transmitted and received messages.   
RADIO MICROPHONE 
In the event the P7100IP microphone air path becomes 
clogged with water, blow two quick successive breaths of 
air directly into the radio microphone air hole.  Refer to 
Figure 7.  This will help to clear any water trapped in the 
microphone air path and allow the microphone to function 
properly.

audio possible after the radio has contacted water or been 
immersed, it may be necessary to clear excess water from
