1. RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION
1.1 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.
NOTE
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
4

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.osha.gov./SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
1.1.1 Federal Communications Commission
Regulations
Your M/A-COM, Inc. EDACS D3100 RF Modem 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.
EDACS D3100 RF Modem has an RF exposure product label. Also, your
D3100 Installation and Operator’s Manual includes information and operating
instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.
1.2 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE
STANDARDS
Your M/A-COM, Inc. EDACS D3100 RF Modem 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
60% talk-40% 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. EDACS D3100 RF Modem 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.

Interference To Vehicular Electronic Systems
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems,
electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of
electronic devices 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 for the make of the vehicle
and enlist his aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform
normally when the radio is transmitting.
Blasting Caps
CAUTION
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)
• Radio Frequency Energy
To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency energy,
do not operate the transmitter when anyone is within two feet of the
antenna.
CAUTION
Before jump starting or changing the vehicle
battery, it is strongly suggested that the 3A fuse
located in the Red lead (IGN A+) be removed. This
will insure that the radio is protected from damage
during the battery charging process. Replace fuse
when charging is completed.

To ensure the feasibility of the cable routes, it is suggested that the cables be
run prior to installation of the radio. Ensure slack is left in each cable so the
radio may be removed for servicing with all connections remaining intact.
D3100 is intended for installation within a weatherproof building, enclosure,
or vehicle. Typical installations are:
1. Elevated (usually beyond unassisted reach) in an outside enclosure with
co-located antenna,
2. Mounted inside a building and connected by RF cable to outside antenna
(usually above unassisted reach), or
3. Vehicle installation with vehicle rooftop antenna.
Install the D3100 so that the LED indicators on the front panel are visible
during operation.
If installation is within the United States, it is recommended the unit be
installed by one of the many M/A-COM Authorized Service Centers located
throughout the U.S. Personnel at these centers are experienced in installations
of this type and can provide a safe, neat, and functional installation.
6.3 INSTALL D3100 RF MODEM
Mount the antenna, following the included instructions, in a manner that
prohibits or precludes the presence of anyone within the prescribed MPE
Radius when the transmitter is on (see Table 1-1). Connect the antenna to the
D3100 antenna connector.
In order for the D3100 to communicate with the RS-232 device, the D3100
data cable must be connected to the RS-232 device using an appropriate data
cable or cable adapter. The accessory Data/Programming/C-U Adapter Cable
(CA103067V1) that comes with the D3100 provides this interconnect
function. When assembling hand-made adapters, make sure the corresponding
function is connected between the D3100 Data Cable and other devices.
Connection of non-corresponding (dissimilar) functions may cause damage to
the D3100 or connected equipment and/or failure of proper performance. (See
Section 4.1 for the data connector functions.)
Connect the polarized power plug of the D3100 power cable to a
corresponding polarized socket on a 13.6 +/-15% DC, regulated power
supply, the Red lead to positive (+) and Black lead to negative or ground (-).
When power is on, the Yellow LED is on.
If the correct personality has been entered, correct data connection, antenna
connection, and power connection are made, and power is on, then D3100 is
ready for data calls.
