PRODUCT SAFETY BOOKLET
Before operating the HDP100 portable radio, read the safety and RF exposure guidelines
contained in Product Safety Booklet included with the radio.
RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
The HDP100 portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode.
This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be
used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the
ways to minimize
such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General
Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
The HDP100 radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF
exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this radio complies with the following Standards and
Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for
exposure to humans:
• FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement
of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
WARNING
WARNING
REGULATORY INFORMATION
Publication 14222-1100-2000, Rev. A 3
To ensure exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also
cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio
by Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. These antennas are listed
on page 41.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than
50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the LED indicator on the top of the radio lights red in color. The radio transmits when its
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) key is pressed.
• Always transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can
reduce RF exposure.
• ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of
unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance
requirements to be exceeded.
• ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from the body and face when
transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the best
sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends holding the front of the radio at
between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters) from your mouth when transmitting into the radio’s
microphone.

to adjust the volume.
If pre-programmed, a monitor or squelch off shortcut key can be used to verify there is no signal on the
channel. Also, the Squelch Off shortcut key can be used in weak signal conditions.
Monitor
Monitor is a function for analog channels that allows any pre-programmed receiver decoding to be disabled so
calls (or other activity) on the selected channel without the correct code can be monitored.
This does not disable receiver squelch. When the Monitor function is enabled, any calls on the channel will be
heard in the radio’s speaker.
To enable and disable the Monitor function, press the pre-programmed Monitor shortcut key, or the Monitor
Momentary shortcut key. The Monitor shortcut key provides a toggle on/off type function, whereas the
Monitor Momentary shortcut key temporarily enables the function only while the shortcut key is depressed.
Squelch Off
Squelch Off is an analog channel function that, when enabled, keeps the receiver unsquelched (i.e., not muted)
even when there is no signal on the selected channel. When enabled, call audio on the channel (or receiver
noise) is routed to the radio’s speaker.
BASIC OPERATIONS
18
To toggle squelch between enabled and disabled, press the pre-configured Squelch Off shortcut key.
To momentarily turn squelch off, depress the pre-configured Squelch Off Momentary key. When this key is
released, squelch turns back on.
Adjust Squelch Level
If programmed, the Adjust Squelch Level shortcut key can be used to select one of three receiver squelch
levels: Tight, Normal, and Open. The default squelch level is Normal, which is often used in a low radio
frequency noise environment. Generally, the Tight level should be used in a high radio frequency noise
environment; it requires a stronger received radio signal to unmute the receiver. Using Open will keep the
speaker unmuted, regardless of the noise level or the decode settings.
When switching from Tight to Open, a low-pitched tone sounds and received noise or call audio is heard from
the speaker. When switching from Open to Normal, a high-pitched tone sounds and the background sounds
disappear. When switching from Normal to Tight, a high-pitched tone sounds.
BATTERY STRENGTH INDICATOR
If the Battery Strength Indicator shortcut key is
pre-programmed, this function can be used to quickly
check the remaining battery strength via the LED
indicator on the top of the radio. Simply press and hold
this pre-programmed shortcut key and view the LED
indicator on the top of the radio.
TRANSMIT POWER LEVEL
With this feature, the radio’s transmit power level can
be quickly changed between a low and a high power level. Use the low power level whenever possible to
increase battery operating time and to reduce the possibility of radio communications interference. However, if

SCANNING CHANNELS
20
GENERAL INFORMATION
The radio’s scan feature allows scanning of radio channels pre-programmed into the radio for call activity. Scan
lists can be pre-programmed for each channel. Each scan list may contain 32 digital or analog channels. When
the radio is scanning channels:
• The LED indicator on the top of the radio flashes orange slowly.
• The radio scans the channels currently on the scan list for calls (or other activity).
• When a call (or other activity) is received/detected on a channel in the scan list:
o The call’s audio is routed to the radio’s speaker.
o The LED indicator glows green.
o The radio remains on the channel (i.e., scan operation automatically pauses) until the call (or other
activity) ends.
OPERATION
Turning Scan On and Off
Scan can be turned on and off by pressing the Scan shortcut key. When scan turns on, a high-pitched tone
