3 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 itmust 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.
6 Table 1 - RF Exposure Compliance Testing Distances TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) RADIO FREQUENCY Body Face 800 MHz 1.6 cm 2.5 cm VHF (136-174 MHz) 1.1 cm 2.5 cm UHF-H (450-512 MHz) 1.1 cm 2.5 cm UHF-L (378-430 MHz) 1.1 cm 2.5 cm 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 properdisposal. Call Toll Free 1-800-8BATTERY for information and/or procedures for returning rechargeable batteries in your state.

Seller’s obligations set forth in Paragraph C below shall apply only to failures to meet the above warranties occurring within the following periods of time from date of sale to the Buyer and are conditioned on Buyer’s giving written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days of such occurrence: 1. for fuses and non-rechargeable batteries, operable on arrival only. 2. for parts and accessories (except as noted in B.1) sold by Seller’s Service Parts Operation, ninety (90) days. 3. for PANTHER Series handportable and mobile radios, two (2) years. 4. for Cougar Series handportable and mobile radios, two (2) years. 5. for OpenSky®, ProVoice™, and EDACS® Equipment of Seller’s manufacture, one (1) year. C. If any Equipment fails to meet the foregoing warranties, Seller shall correct the failure at its option (i) by repairing any defective or damaged part or parts thereof, (ii) by making available at Seller’s factory any necessary repaired or replacement parts, or (iii) by replacing the failed Equipment with equivalent new or refurbished Equipment. Any repaired or replacement part furnished hereunder shall be warranted for the remainder of the warranty period of the Equipment in which it is installed. Where such failure cannot be corrected by Seller’s reasonable efforts, the parties will negotiate an equitable adjustment in price. Labor to perform warranty service will be provided at no charge during the warranty period only for the Equipment covered under Paragraph B.3-B.5. To be eligible for no-charge labor,
47 service must be performed at a M/A-COM factory (for OpenSky® Equipment only), by an Authorized Service Center (ASC) or other Servicer approved for these purposes either at its place of business during normal business hours, for mobile or personal equipment, or at the Buyer’s location, for fixed location equipment. Service on fixed location equipment more than thirty (30) miles from the Service Center or other approved Servicer’s place of business will include a charge for transportation. D. Seller’s obligations under Paragraph C shall not apply to any Equipment, or part thereof, which (i) has been modified or otherwise altered other than pursuant to Seller’s written instructions or written approval or, (ii) is normally consumed in operation or, (iii) has a normal life inherently shorter than the warranty periods specified in Paragraph B, or (iv) is not properly stored, installed, used, maintained or repaired, or, (v) has been subjected to any other kind of misuse or detrimental exposure, or has been involved in an accident. E. The preceding paragraphs set forth the exclusive remedies for claims based upon defects in or nonconformity of the Equipment, whether the claim is in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and however instituted. Upon the expiration of the warranty period, all such liability shall terminate. The foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, whether oral, written, expressed, implied or statutory. NO IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. This warranty applies only within the United States. M/A-COM, Inc.
