2.1 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.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by M/A-
COM, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
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.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
http://www.osha.gov./SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
2.1.1 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.
2.2 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE
STANDARDS
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested
to comply with a number of national and international standards and
guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty factors of up to
50% talk-50% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In
terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure
guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is
transmitting (talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio complies with the
following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999.

3 OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 TRANSMITTER HAZARDS
WARNING
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of
certain hazards common to the operation of 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 the motorcycle. Do not
transport containers of fuel.
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 may 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:
¾ The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal
from the space containing the LP gas container and its fittings.
¾ Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
¾ The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
10
3.2 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
(Recommended by AAA)
• Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio.
• Use both hands to steer and keep 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.

5.3 USER SUPPLIED EQUIPMENT
• Motorcycle Bracket (Motorcycle’s interface with this Motorcycle Radio
Case and associated hardware. Refer to and in Figure 6-1 and
Figure 6-2.)
5.4 POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The motorcycle may be equipped with additional lights, light flashers, sirens,
PA systems, etc. Therefore, consideration must be given to the total system
current drain. It is recommended that the radios be set to not exceed the
applicable rated RF power output and current drain shown in Table 5-2 for all
M7100IP motorcycle applications.
CAUTION
Do NOT use a M7100IP mobile radio with power exceeding
the power limits shown in Table 5-2 for motorcycle
applications. To do so will result in damage to the
motorcycle alternator, battery, and all circuits. Also, the
possibility of interference is increased if the proper RF
power level is not used. As a final note, RF power may not
be set to exceed the maximum regulatory RF power
specified by that country’s regulatory agency.
5.4.1 RF Power Adjustments
For factory installed options, the maximum RF power levels are factory preset
and should only require verification in the field. See Table 5-2.
For field installed options, the RF power of previously purchased M7100IP
mobile radios in the field must be appropriately set via modification of the
maximum RF power tracking data fields. The tracking data numbers are
adjusted to produce RF power as specified in the “actual” column in Table
5-2.
5.4.1.1 Setting RF Power in the Field
Perform the following steps to adjust the RF power level tracking data.
1. Using ProGrammer, read the personality from the radio. (Refer to
ProGrammer On-Line Help for detailed instructions.)
2. Click on the “Systems” tab, then double click on “System Setup.”
3. Select the “General” tab and choose the System Name that needs to
be adjusted.
![](/img.php?id=525027&img=bg14.png)
20
4. Enter the appropriate value corresponding to the rated power in the
“Power Level” control box (for example: 8 for low power in the
UHF bands; 15 for mid-power in the 800 MHz band). Refer to
Table 5-2. Click OK.
5. Write the new personality to radio.
Typical RF power tracking data settings are listed in the M7100IP Mobile
Radio Maintenance Manuals in the programming sections.

7 CONTROL UNIT MOUNTING
Mount the control unit within convenient reach of the operator, and where it
will not interfere with the safe operation of the motorcycle. Figure 7-1 shows
a typical installation of the control unit and microphone. Note also, the
location of the option switch for the Headset Option.
Due to the large number of different makes and models of motorcycles, it is
up to the installer to decide how to mount the control unit and optional
equipment. Mounting brackets for all makes and models are not available
from the factory, making it necessary to obtain a custom made bracket.
When designing and mounting the control unit bracket, the following
guidelines should be considered.
• The installation must NOT interfere with steering or operation of the
motorcycle.
• Mounting locations must NOT interfere with the driver or with
instrument visibility.
• The installation should provide easy access to the radio operating
controls.
• Rounded corners/edges should be employed to the maximum extent
possible.
CAUTION
Be careful to avoid damaging some vital part of the
motorcycle if it becomes necessary to drill mounting holes.
Also, always check to see how far the mounting screws will
extend below the mounting surface before installing.
Caution must be exercised to not drill through the gasoline
tank.

7.3 CABLE ROUTING
7.3.1 Power and Control Cables
Cable routing consists of planning and routing the cable runs between the
radio, control unit, and battery. The cables should be routed away from
exhaust pipes, mufflers, and moving parts, or where mechanical damage may
result. Secure all cables with black cable ties to provide a clean installation.
The power and control cables, red and black, exit the radio case assembly
through the square hole in the front of the box and are routed to the area
beneath the saddle. The fused power cables (19B802622P2 or
19B802554P25) from the radio terminate here and are connected to the
battery. The control cable is routed through the triangular frame assembly to
the rear of the control unit.
![](/img.php?id=525027&img=bg1e.png)

7.3.2 Option Cable
The option cable is routed from the option connector on the rear of the control
unit CG/PTT disable switch mounted on the left handlebar.
7.3.3 Typical Harley-Davidson Installation
1. Disconnect gas line from tank and drain gas into an approved container.
2. Remove cowling, gas tank, and fairing, if required, to gain access to the
triangular frame assembly, beneath the gas tank, to permit cable routing.
3. Push saddle support springs forward to release the saddle and tilt it
forward to gain access to the area beneath the saddle.
NOTE
The power cable is designed for negative ground systems
only. The power and control cable consists of three separate
cables: RED (positive), BLACK (negative), and a control
cable.
4. Pass the power and control cables through the square hole in the bottom
of the radio case assembly to the area beneath the saddle. See Figure 6-4
which shows cable routing under the center of the case assembly. Figure
7-4 shows the cabling underneath the saddle area. (Note the location of
the option cable and connector, not being used.)
5. Refer to Figure 7-5 and route the cables through the center of the
triangular frame assembly to the area at the rear of the control unit. The
cable may be routed along side existing cables and secured to them with
cable ties.
NOTE
It may be necessary to notch a portion of the cowling at the
control unit end and at the saddle area to provide entrance
and exit holes for the cable. The entrance and exit cutaway
holes are required to permit the cowling to be remounted
flush to the gas tank.
6. Route the control cable to the rear of the control unit and make the
connection to the right rear of the control unit as shown in Figure 7-6.
Any excess cable will reside beneath the saddle area. (The option and

7.3.3.1 For Motorcycle Models Equipped with Gas Tank Fairing
The cable may be routed from the saddle area, under the fairing, around the
left side of the gas tank filler pipe, and up to the area of the control unit. The
fairing may have to be notched to provide entrance and exit space. Run the
control cable as directed in Steps 1 through 3.
1. Remove all the screws securing the fairing. Next, unscrew and remove
the gas tank cap and lift off the fairing. Replace the gas cap immediately.
WARNING
Always replace the gas cap as soon as the fairing is
replaced/removed. This is necessary to reduce the
possibility of an explosion as well as to prevent drill
shavings or other debris from getting into the gas tank.
2. Run the cables from the saddle area up the left side of the gas tank to the
area of the control unit.
NOTE
It may be necessary to notch a portion of the fairing at the
control unit end and at the saddle area to provide entrance
and exit holes for the cable. The entrance and exit cutaway
holes are required to permit the fairing to be remounted
flush to the gas tank.
3. Before replacing the fairing, the control cable and any option cables may
be run under the fairing also. Replace the fairing by removing the gas
cap, repositioning the fairing, then replacing the gas cap and the screws
that secure the fairing.
7.3.3.2 For Motorcycles Not Equipped with a Gas Tank Fairing
After making power connections, run the control cables up the left side of the
motorcycle to the control unit and secure the cables with the cable ties. Note:
All cables connect to the back of the control unit.
7.4 CABLE CONNECTIONS
Cable connections consist of connecting the power and control cables
(individual red + and black -), the radio control cable, and the antenna cable.
Verify that all cables have been connected and are secure.

The control cable (remote mount, extended option) is routed between the
control unit and the motorcycle radio case. In addition to the main cable, the
cable assembly contains a pair of black speaker leads and a single yellow wire
for ignition switch standby control. Normally, the ignition switch standby
control feature is not used in motorcycle applications and the yellow fuse
assembly provided is discarded and the wire terminated. However, at the
customer’s discretion, the ignition switch standby control feature may be
used.
The plug connections include the microphone, speaker, option cable, and the
control cable. Refer to the interconnection diagram 188D6783 and to diagram
19B802554P23 for cable identification.
1. Plug the black speaker leads from the control cable into the speaker
cable.
2. Plug the control cable into the right rear receptacle of the control unit.
7.4.3 Ignition Switch Option
NOTE
The M7100IP radio, as shipped from the factory, has the
“ignition sense” feature disabled. As such, the radio is
powered ON or OFF as determined by the front panel ON-
OFF/VOLUME control only (assuming A+ and A- are
connected). If the “ignition sense” feature is to be enabled,
open the top cover of the radio and remove the shield from
the logic PWB. Slide switch SW601 from position 3-2 to 1-
2. Replace shield and top cover. Be sure to apply the correct
torque to the screws holding the top cover in place. Refer to
the M7100IP Maintenance Manual for configuration
instructions.
![](/img.php?id=525027&img=bg23.png)
35
7.4.4 Accessory Cable
The accessory cable (19B802554P24) provides connections for the external
headset, DES keyloader, and other options (i.e., data terminal, external
encoder/decoder, etc).
7.5 ANTENNA INSTALLATION
7.5.1 General
The M/A-COM M7100IP motorcycle options are designed for use with the
antennas listed in Table 2-1 and Table 5-1. With these antennas, a ground
plane is no longer necessary. These antennas are end-fed high-impedance
antennas that provide the proper VSWR and radiation pattern without the use
of a ground plane. Typical antenna gain without a ground plane is 0 dB.
The case/antenna mounting plate (188D6437P1) was designed to fit the hole
mounting pattern for all these antenna mounts.
CAUTION
Since the antennas are high impedance, voltage fed
antennas, the length of the coaxial cable from the antennas
to the M7100IP RF port is critical. It cannot be just any
arbitrary length. To prevent possible extraneous radiation,
RFI feedback from the antenna to the radio, high VSWR, or
antenna ground currents, select an antenna coaxial cable
length that is close to a multiple of an odd quarter-
wavelength.
To properly use a thru-line wattmeter, one of the following two conditions
must be met:
• If the wattmeter is installed right at the M7100IP RF port and the odd
multiple of a quarter-wavelength of coax to the antenna is used, correct
readings will result. Any other length of coax will result in improper
readings.
• If a length of coax equal to a multiple of a half-wave length is installed
between the M7100IP RF port and the thru-line wattmeter and an odd
multiple of a quarter-wavelength of coax to the antenna is used, correct
readings will also result. Any other length of coax will result in improper
readings.
To calculate the proper cable length of the antenna coaxial cable, proceed as
follows:
1. Determine the center frequency of the majority of programmed transmit
channel frequencies.
![](/img.php?id=525027&img=bg24.png)
36
2. Use the formula: ¼λ in = 2805
F(MHz)
Example 1: Assume the customer has an 800 MHz M7100IP with most of the
transmit frequencies between 816-821 MHz. Therefore, center frequency is
818.5 MHz. Applying the above formula results in:
¼λ in = 2805 = 3.43 inches
818.5
½λ wavelength (in inches)= 6.85 inches
The cable length should be 3.43 + n x 6.85 inches. Since the installer will
need a length of the coax from the antenna to the radio to be at least 22 inches
long to physically connect the antenna to the radio, he must calculate a length
of coax that will meet the odd quarter-wavelength requirement and be greater
than 22 inches.
Choose n=3. Coaxial cable length is 3.43 + 3 x 6.85= 23.99 inches.
Example 2: Assume the center frequency is 155 MHz. Applying the formula:
¼λ = 18.10 inches; ½ wavelength = 36.19 inches; n=1.
Coaxial cable length is 18.10 + 1 x 36.19= 54.29 inches.
7.5.2 Typical Motorcycle Mount Antenna Installation
It is important to refer to the minimum lateral distance recommendations
when installing your antenna (see Table 2-1). The minimum lateral distances
are calculated using a 50% duty cycle.
1. After the proper length of coax cable has been calculated, cut the coax
cable so that when the TNC crimp style connector is installed the overall
length will equal the calculated length.
2. Route the assembled proper length coax from the antenna, under the
antenna bracket, and into the weather-resistant case.
3. Connect the antenna cable to the RF port on the M7100IP radio.
WARNING
See Section 2, RF ENERGY EXPOSURE
INFORMATION, at the beginning of this manual for
further information regarding Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) limits set by the FCC.
![](/img.php?id=525027&img=bg25.png)
37
8 FINAL CHECKS AND CONNECTIONS
After the weather resistant case is installed, all cables run, and the radio,
control unit, speaker, and microphone installed, refer to the interconnection
diagrams and verify that all connections have been made and the equipment is
properly grounded. Make a final check of all cables to make sure they are
properly connected and dressed away from all moving parts and exhaust
pipes, and secured with cable ties. Then recheck all electrical connections and
radio mounting hardware.
8.1 HEADSET INSTALLATION (OPTION)
NOTE
To enable the PTT switch on the handlebar switch for external
headset options, the M7100IP mobile radio must be
programmed so that INP2 is defined to be “PTT” or
“EXTPTT”. Without this software addition, the headset
options will not transmit.
![](/img.php?id=525027&img=bg26.png)

NOTE
The headset option speakers are a nominal 24 ohms. Use of
other impedance value speakers will result in non-optimum
sound performance from the speaker(s). The SM-KA-23
dual speaker helmet kit has the two speakers wired in
parallel. They must be re-wired in series to perform
properly.
NOTE
The Helmet Kit Interface Cables SM-MCH-71GT and SM-
MCK-71GT have a pushbutton switch that only supports
the PTT function. The Interface Cables SM-MCH-72GT,
SM-MCK-72GT, and SM-MCH-73GT have a three-
position rocker switch that supports both the PTT and CG
Decode Disable functions.

9 WARRANTY
A. M/A-COM, Inc. (hereinafter "Seller") warrants to the original purchaser for use (hereinafter
"Buyer") that Equipment manufactured by or for the Seller shall be free from defects in
material and workmanship, and shall conform to its published specifications. With respect to
all non-M/A-COM Equipment, Seller gives no warranty, and only the warranty, if any, given
by the manufacturer shall apply. Rechargeable batteries are excluded from this warranty
but are warranted under a separate Rechargeable Battery Warranty (ECR-7048).
B. 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 all other 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 and B.4. To be eligible for no-charge labor,
service must be performed at a M/A-COM factory, 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.
