RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS, CONTROL
INFORMATION, AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR MOBILE TWO-WAY RADIO, READ THIS
IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC’S RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled
conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can
exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio
device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other
use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a
distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF
energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are
not limited to, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however,
should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy,
which, when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels
of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These
standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and
the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North
America are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet
government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These
instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy
exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to
the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is
and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF
exposure limits.

Federal Communications Commission Regulations
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested
to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile two-way radios
before it can be marketed in the United States. When two-way radios are used
as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of
and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements.
Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to
specific user awareness information. Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP two-way
radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, your M7100IP Installation and
Operator’s Manuals include information and operating instructions required to
control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested

OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
TRANSMITTER HAZARDS
WARNING
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain
hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio
transmitters. A list of several possible hazards is given.
• Explosive Atmospheres – Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with
the motor running, similar hazards exist when operating a mobile radio.
Be sure to turn the radio off while fueling a vehicle. Do not carry
containers of fuel in the trunk of a vehicle if the radio is mounted in the
trunk.
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. Turn OFF your radio when in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that
the radio or its accessories could generate sparks.
• Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems – Electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise
control systems, etc., are typical electronic systems that can malfunction
due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy present when
transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer
and enlist their aid in determining the expected performance of electronic
circuits when the radio is transmitting.
• Electric Blasting Caps – To prevent accidental detonation of electric
blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting
operations. Always obey the “Turn Off Two-Way Radios” signs posted
where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard: 1926-900)
• Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles – Mobile radio
installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP
gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of
the vehicle must conform to the National Fire Protection Association
standard NFPA 58 requiring:
The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal
from the space containing the LP gas container and its fittings.
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
10
SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
(Recommended by AAA)
• Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio.
• Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the microphone in its hanger
whenever the vehicle is in motion.
• Place calls only when the vehicle is stopped.
• When talking from a moving vehicle is unavoidable, drive in the slower
lane. Keep conversations brief.
• If a conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and continue the call.
• Whenever using a mobile radio, exercise caution.

11
OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the local, regional, or national government.
In the United States, the M7100IP Series mobile radio 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 helps eliminate confusion, assures the
most efficient use of the existing radio channels, and results in a smoothly
functioning radio network.
When using your two-way radio, remember these rules:
• It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency
message. As your radio operates in much the same way as a telephone
“party line,” always listen to make sure that the channel is clear before
transmitting. Emergency calls have priority over all other messages. If
someone is sending an emergency message – such as reporting a fire or
asking for help in an accident – KEEP OFF THE AIR!
• The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.
• It is against the law to send false call letters or false distress or emergency
messages. The FCC requires that you keep conversations brief and
confine them to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever
possible.
• Using your radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a
violation of FCC rules. You may send only those messages that are
essential for the operation of your business.
• It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything you
overhear on your radio. Conversations between others sharing your
channel must be regarded as confidential.
• The FCC requires that you identify yourself at certain specific times by
means of your call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to your particular
type of operation for the proper procedure.
• No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an
authorized or certified electronics technician.
IMPORTANT!
Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio
transmitter within the
j
urisdiction of the United
States ma
y
be punishable b
y
a fine of up to
$10,000, imprisonment for up to two (2)
y
ears, or
both.
12
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 areas of low terrain, or while under power lines or
bridges
• Obstructions such as mountains and buildings
• In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement can
be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a
higher elevation.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Figure 5 provides an example of a typical mobile radio remote mount
installation. Before starting, plan the radio installation carefully so that it will
be:
• Safe for the operator and passengers,
• Away from airbag deployment area,
• Convenient for the operator to use,
• Neat,
• Protected from water damage,
• Easy to service,
• Out of the way of auto mechanics, and
• Out of the way of passengers.
Figure 5 – Typical Installation (Remote Mount Shown)
It is suggested that the radio be installed by one of the many M/A-COM
Authorized Service Centers located throughout the United States. Their
experienced service personnel can provide a proper radio installation and
make any final adjustments that may be needed.
![](/img.php?id=412499&img=bg14.png)
20
CAUTION
Vehicular Electronics - Electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid braking systems, air bags, electronic
cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of
electronic devices which might be prone to malfunction
due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy
present when a radio is transmitting. If the vehicle
contains such equipment, consult the dealer to determine if
such electronic equipment will perform normally when the
radio is transmitting.
WARNING
Air Bags – For driver and passenger safety, avoid
mounting the radio above or near airbag deployment areas.
Note that vehicles might contain front driver and
passenger side airbags as well as side airbags. For
occupant safety, verify the location of all airbags before
installing radio equipment.
WARNING
For passenger safety, mount the radio securely so that the
unit will not break loose in the event of a collision. This is
especially important in station wagons, vans and similar
type installations where a loose radio could be extremely
dangerous to the vehicle occupants.
![](/img.php?id=412499&img=bg15.png)
21
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The equipment required for installing the M7100IP Series Mobile Radio is
listed below:
• Crimping tool for fuse holder
• Electric drill for drilling mounting holes
• Drills and circle cutters, as follows:
No. 31 (1/8-inch) drill
No. 27 (9/64-inch) drill
5/8-inch drill or circle cutter
3/4-inch circle cutter, hole saw or socket punch
• Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers
• POZIDRIV® driver
• No. 20 Torx® driver
CAUTION
Be careful to avoid damaging some vital part (fuel tank,

from drilling holes before installing screws.
![](/img.php?id=412499&img=bg16.png)
22
INSTALLATION
RUNNING CABLES
To assure the feasibility of the planned cable routings, it is suggested that the
cables be run before mounting the radio. The M7100IP Series mobile radio
may be installed as a Front Mount or a Remote Mount. The type of mount,
the application and the options to be installed should be considered when
planning the cable runs. Figure 6 and Figure 7 provide Interconnection
Diagrams for typical installations. Figure 6 and Figure 7 should be referenced
throughout this manual and throughout the installation.
Be sure to leave some slack in each cable going to the radio so that the radio
may be pulled out for servicing with the power applied and antenna attached.
Coil any surplus cables and secure them out of the way. Try to route the
cables away from locations where they will be exposed to heat (exhaust pipes,
mufflers, tailpipes, etc.), battery acid, sharp edges or mechanical damage or
where they will be a nuisance or hazard to automobile mechanics, the driver
or passengers. Keep wiring away from electronic computer modules, other
electronic modules and ignition circuits to help prevent interference to these
components and radio equipment.

Power Cable
The power cable consists of a red lead A+ and a black lead A- connected to a
molded 2-pin power connector and supplied with ring terminals (refer to
Figure 8). To install the power cable:
1. Drill a 5/8-inch hole in the firewall for the cable run and insert the rubber
grommet. Run the cable through this grommet to the battery location.
Secure the cable at several locations within the engine compartment to
prevent possible damage to cable.
2. Strip back the insulation approximately 3/8 of an inch from the end of the
black lead. Slide one of the large heat shrink sleeves onto the wire and
crimp a battery ring terminal onto this lead. Heat-shrink the sleeve over
the crimp connection. Connect the black lead directly to the ground frame
member.
3. Cut off 12-18 inches from the red lead. Strip back the insulation
approximately 3/8 of an inch on each end of the wires. Insert the wire
ends into the small openings at the end of each fuse holder section and
crimp a fuse connector to each wire. Prepare the other end of the short
wire in the same manner as in Step 2 of this procedure and connect to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery.
NOTE
Do not install the fuse until the installation is completed
and all connections have been checked.
NOTE
Power Cable 19B802622P3 is used only with radios with
50 watts or less RF power output. 19B802622P1 is used

Ignition Sense (All Applications)
NOTE
The radio, as shipped from the factory, has the "ignition
sense" feature disabled. As such, the radio will be
powered ON or OFF as determined by the front panel
ON/OFF/VOLUME control only (assuming A+ and A- are
connected). If it is desired to enable the "ignition sense"
feature, open the top cover of the radio and remove the
shield from logic PWB. Slide switch S951 from position
3-2 to 1-2. Replace shield and top cover. Be sure to apply
correct torque to screws holding top cover in place (refer
to the appropriate Maintenance Manual).
NOTE
The "Accessory" point should drop to ZERO volts when
cranking the engine and return to +12 volts after the
engine is started. If a point is chosen that drops to a
voltage between zero and +12 volts, the radio might
execute a power-up cycle several times during start up. It
is recommended that the terminal be measured with a
voltmeter to be sure it shuts off (goes to zero volts) during
the cranking of the engine.
The fuse holder must be attached to the yellow sense lead along with the ring
terminal as follows:
1. Cut the yellow sense lead approximately 6-12" from the end that will be
connected to the ignition sense point.
2. Strip the insulation from each end of the short lead and from the end of
the long lead at least 3/8".
3. Insert the stripped end of the long lead and one end of the short lead into
the narrow end of each fuse holder half.
4. Crimp the leads in the fuse holder halves with a crimping tool.
5. Insert the 3-amp fuse into one end of the fuse holder and join the two fuse
holder halves firmly together.
6. Attach the ring terminal to the end of the short lead and connect this lead
to the ignition "ON" sense point [preferably an "Accessory" point (in the
vehicle fuse panel) that is switched on when the vehicle ignition switch is
in the ACCESSORY and RUN positions].
![](/img.php?id=412499&img=bg1c.png)
28
CAUTION
Certain problems might be encountered when accessory
equipment is connected to the ignition or accessory lines
of the vehicle, where these lines can have large filter
capacitors and a leakage path present. If the radio does
not turn off within a reasonable amount of time after the
ignition is turned off, first try a different accessory or
ignition sense pick-up point in the vehicle. Many vehicles
have more than one circuit that is switched by the ignition
switch, and one might be available that does not have
large filter capacitors or a leakage path present.
If a different pick-up point cannot be found, add a 470-
ohm, 1-watt resistor from the ignition sense pick-up point
to ground. This will discharge the capacitor(s) or reduce
the leakage voltage to a low value. Current drain through
this resistor will be minimal (less than 0.03A) when the
ignition is switched on.
Control Cable (Remote Mount Only)
The Control Cable is used to connect the Control Unit (through the RIA) to
the Radio Transceiver in remote applications. Plug P2, at one end, connects
to the Remote Control Cable Connector (RCCC) mounted on the back of the
RIA. The Ignition Sense wire is also part of P2. The connection, P5, is
available for field programming, keyloading, or mobile data applications. The
other end of the Control Cable (P1) connects to the ORCC mounted on the
back of the radio. See Figure 11.

MICROPHONE HANGER AND/OR HOOKSWITCH
MOUNTING
The microphone hanger or hookswitch should be mounted in a location
convenient to the operator where it will not interfere with the safe operation of
the vehicle or be a hazard to the vehicle passengers. The hanger and
hookswitch are designed to be mounted with the open end of the mounting
button slot pointed upward. Use the hanger or hookswitch as a template to
mark and drill the mounting holes. Mount the hanger or hookswitch with the
self-tapping screws provided.
SIREN AND LIGHT
For instructions about installing the Federal Signal Corporation Siren and
Light Kit, refer to the Federal Signal Corporation Installation Instructions
(Federal Systems part number 255287B, rev. B or higher).
Program the radio to work with the Federal Systems Siren and Light Kit,
using the instructions outlined in the ProGrammer On-Line Help.
In a remote mount installation, three jumpers must be reconfigured in the
remote control unit. These jumpers are located on the Remote Interface
![](/img.php?id=412499&img=bg23.png)
35
Adapter (RIA), a PC board in the back half of the unit. To access these
jumpers, the RIA must be removed from the control unit as follows:
1. Disassemble the Control Unit using steps given in LBI-39175.
2. Flex circuit PC2 does not need to be disengaged from J2, providing care
is taken to avoid excessive bending.
3. Reconfigure jumper A/B to center/B, jumper C/D to center/D, and jumper
E/F to center/F.
4. Carefully reassemble the RIA to front control panel, making sure that
there is adequate alignment and lubricant for the black o-ring gasket at
the mechanical interface between the RIA and the control panel. This
maintains the moisture seal of the control panel.
NOTE: The following issues have been reported on some M7100IP
Siren/Light installations using the Federal Signal Corporation Siren and Light
Kit:
• Occasional false activation of siren and light functions when the ignition
is turned to the “on” position and/or when the vehicle is started.
• Occasional failure to enable siren or light functions via control head,
which can be temporarily resolved by either power cycling the radio or
turning the car ignition “off” and then “on” again.
To resolve these issues above, modify the Federal Systems control cable as
follows:
1. Remove the outer shell from the DB25 side of the Federal Systems
control cable.
2. Add a jumper from pin 1 to pin 19.
This modification to the SS2000 cable harness will disable the M7100IP’s
capability to turn on and off the SS2000 from the front of the control head.
The SS2000 will now be turned on and off strictly by its own ignition switch
trigger line (red wire from 12 pin Molex® connector on SS2000 siren box).
Follow the SS2000 Federal Signal Corporation installation instructions to
attach the red ignition line correctly.

DUAL RADIO UNITS
The Dual Radio feature can be configured for two remote mount radio units or for
one front mount unit and one remote mount unit. In remote mount configurations
the Control Unit is typically located in the vehicle cab, with the Radio Units
located side-by-side in vehicle trunk. In front/remote mount configurations the
front mount unit is located in the vehicle cab, with the remote mount unit located
in a convenient location nearby. The remote/remote mount configuration is the
preferred installation, since a separate control unit is required to program the
remote unit in a front/remote mount configuration.
The following Dual Radio Unit configurations are not allowed:
• Any configuration using a DIN cassette mount.
• Any installation where Extended Options are required from both Radio
Units. Extended options are supported in one Radio Unit only.
PRE-INSTALLATION PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
WITH PROGRAMMER – DUAL RADIO UNITS
All Radio Units in the Dual Radio configuration MUST BE PROGRAMMED
prior to final installation. It is recommended that the units be first
programmed at an Authorized Service Center, and then transferred to the
user's installation.
These configurations provide for a Master Radio Unit and a Slave Radio Unit.
In the remote/remote mount configuration, the Master Radio Unit is always
the radio most directly connected to the Control Unit. In the front/remote
mount configuration, the Master Radio Unit is always the front mount radio.
Extended Options are allowed only in the Master Radio Unit. Programming
each radio is straightforward, except that one radio is programmed as a
Master, and one as a Slave.
1. Decide which Radio Unit will be the Master Unit. Configure the radio for
programming as shown in the applicable maintenance manual.
2. Program the Master Unit (refer to the programming configuration that
follows).
a. In the “Multi-Radio” field of ProGrammer, select “Master.”
b. Select any M7100IP keypad programming options if the keypad is to be
programmed. The M7100IP keypad options can only be programmed
with “multi-radio” set to “Master” in a dual radio personality.
3. Program the unit normally. Include Extended Option features, if purchased.
4. Program the Slave Unit (refer to the programming configuration that
follows).
57
a. Connect the Slave Radio Unit for programming. Be sure to use the
programming configuration for remote mount and supply the required
control unit if for a front/remote mount dual radio configuration.
b. In the “Multi-Radio” field of ProGrammer, select “Slave.”
5. Program the unit normally. Do NOT include Extended Option features.
Both radio units are now ready for vehicular installation.
