1 REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 SAFETY SYMBOL CONVENTIONS
The following conventions are used in this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions that must
be observed during all phases of operation, installation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the product. Harris Corporation assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these standards.
WARNING
The WARNING symbol calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which,
if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not
proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully
understood or met.
CAUTION
The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like,
which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the
equipment or severely degrade equipment performance.
NOTE
The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve
system performance or clarify a process or procedure.
1.2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Before using the two-way mobile radio, review the following important RF energy awareness and
control information and operational instructions. Comply with this information and instructions in
order to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
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 remain below RF exposure limits. This radio is NOT authorized for
general population, consumer, or any other use.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Harris
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
WARNING
CAUTION
14221-1510-4000, Rev. A
5
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. Refer to the
following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control 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
1.2.1 Federal Communications Commission Regulations
Before it was marketed in the United States, the XG-25M two-way mobile radio was tested to ensure
compliance with FCC RF energy exposure limits for two-way mobile radios. 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. The radio has an RF exposure product label.
Also, this Product Safety Manual and the applicable Operator’s Manual include information and operating
instructions required to control RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
1.3 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
The XG-25M two-way mobile radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines 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-cycle times of up to 50% (50% transmit, 50% receive), and it is authorized by the
FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure
guidelines, the radio’s antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (talking), not
when it is receiving (listening), or in a standby mode.
The XG-25M two-way mobile 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)
C95.1-2005.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-2005.
• IC Standard RSS-102, Issue 2, 2005: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio
Standards Specification. Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus
(All Frequency Bands).
Table 1-1 (for the VHF radio) and Table 1-2 (for the 700/800 MHz radio) list the
recommended minimum safe lateral distances
for a controlled environment and for
unaware bystanders in an uncontrolled environment, from transmitting antennas (i.e.,
monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at rated radio power for mobile radios
installed in a vehicle. Transmit only when
unaware bystanders are at least the
uncontrolled recommended minimum safe lateral distance away from the transmitting
antenna.
Based on the highest radiated RF power and the highest antenna gain in antennas to be used with
XG-25M, the distances listed in Table 1-1 (for the VHF radio) and Table 1-2 (for the 700/800 MHz radio)
are considered as safe distances for controlled and uncontrolled environments with the XG-25M mobile
radio transmitting at a maximum 50% duty cycle:

1.6 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 but are
not limited to:
• Explosive Atmospheres — Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle while its engine is running, be
sure to turn the radio OFF while fueling the vehicle. If the radio is mounted in the trunk of the
vehicle, DO NOT carry containers of fuel in the trunk.
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Turn the radio
OFF 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 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 can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency (RF) energy present
when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle
and enlist his/her aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally 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 (305 meters) of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn Off
Two-Way Radios” (or equivalent) 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 outside of the vehicle is within the minimum safe
distance from the antenna as specified in Table 1-1. Refer to Section 1.2 for additional information.
• Vehicles Powered By Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas — Radio installation in vehicles powered by
liquefied petroleum gas, where the LP gas container is located 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. This requires:
The space containing the radio equipment must be isolated by a seal from the space containing
the LP gas container and its fittings.
Outside filling connections must be used for the LP gas container.
The LP gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
• Vehicles Equipped with Airbags — For driver and passenger safety, avoid mounting the radio (or
any other component) above or near airbag deployment areas. In addition to driver-side and
passenger-side front-impact airbags, some vehicles may also be equipped with side-impact airbags.
For occupant safety, verify the location of all airbags within the vehicle before installing the radio
equipment.
1.7 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
The American Automobile Association (AAA) advocates the following key safe driving recommenda-
tions:
• Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio.
WARNING
14221-1510-4000, Rev. A
11
• 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.
1.8 OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Two-way radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local,
regional, or national government.
In the United States, the XG-25M mobile radio must be operated in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Operators of two-way radio equipment
must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to the 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 a two-way radio, remember these rules:
• It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. The radio operates in
much the same way as a telephone “party line.” Therefore, always listen to make sure 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, do not
transmit unless assistance can be offered.
• 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 keeping conversations brief and confined to business. Use coded messages whenever
possible to save time.
• Using the radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send
only essential messages.
• It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio.
Conversations between others sharing the channel must be regarded as confidential.
• The FCC requires self-identification at certain specific times by means of call letters. Refer to the
rules that apply to the 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.

1.9 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, communication improvement may
sometimes be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction, or moving to a
higher elevation.

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

business hours, for mobile or personal equipment, or at the Buyer’s location, for fixed location

warranty periods specified in Paragraph B, or (iv) is not properly stored, installed, used, maintained or

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.
