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

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. 

CAUTION
Table 1-1 lists the recommended minimum lateral distance 
from the AV102800V1 mobile antenna that must be 
provided for unaware bystanders in an uncontrolled 
environment, when the D3100 is transmitting at three watts.

2. SAFETY INFORMATION 
2.1 COMMON HAZARDS 
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common 
to the operation of vehicular radio transmissions.  Possible hazards include: 
Explosive Atmospheres 
Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, be sure to 
turn the radio OFF while fueling the vehicle.  Do not carry containers of 
fuel in the trunk of the vehicle when the radio is mounted in the trunk. 
8 
• 
• 
• 
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.

6.2  PLAN THE INSTALLATION 
Before starting, plan the modem’s installation carefully so that it will be: 
Functional • 
• 
• 
• 
Neat 
Protected from water damage 
Easy to service 
The procedures in this section provide a guideline for installing the data 
modem.  In some applications it may be necessary to deviate slightly from the 
recommended procedure and the order in which the equipment is installed.

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.
