2. RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION
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.
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 Harris Corporation 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 Harris Corporation Unity 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 Harris
Corporation Unity two-way radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, your Unity 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 Harris Corporation Unity 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 Harris Corporation Unity 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)
C95.1-2005.
• 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).
CAUTION
Table 2-1 lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for a controlled environment
and for unaware bystanders in an uncontrolled environment, from transmitting types of
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 lateral distance away from the transmitting

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 vehicular 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 a vehicle. Do
not carry containers of fuel in the trunk of a vehicle if the radio is mounted in the trunk.
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 can
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:
The LP gas container and its fittings.
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
3.2 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
(Recommended by AAA)
• Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio.
• 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.

4. OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local,
regional, or national government.
In the United States, the Unity mobile radio must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of two-way radio equipment, you
must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to your 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 your two-way radio, remember these rules:
• It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. As your radio operates
in much the same way as a telephone “party line,” always listen to make sure that 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 – KEEP OFF THE
AIR!
• 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 that you keep conversations brief and confine them to business. To save time, use coded
messages whenever possible.
• Using your radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules.
You may send only those messages that are essential for the operation of your business.
• It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything you overhear on your radio.
Conversations between others sharing your channel must be regarded as confidential.
• The FCC requires that you identify yourself at certain specific times by means of your call letters.
Refer to the rules that apply to your 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.
NOTE
Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the jurisdiction of
the United States may be punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to
two (2) years, or both.
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, some improvement can be obtained by moving a few
yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation.

1. From the main display, select MAIN MENU.
2. Select SCAN.
3. Select ZONE LISTS or GROUP LISTS and r
efer to the
following sections.
NOTE
When using Preemptive Priority Scan, the frequencies in the list need to be unique.
7.15.1 HOME, PRIORITY 1, AND PRIORITY 2 CHANNELS
7.15.1.1 HOME CHANNEL
This is the channel you transmit on by default when you press PTT while the radio is actively scanning
and is not responding to a just received call. Responding to a call the radio just received while scanning is
called hang time. If hang time is set to 0 in RPM, the radio always transmits on the home channel in scan.
7.15.1.2 PRIORITY 1 CHANNEL
This channel will be scanned more often than other channels in the list and will be scanned in between
every other channel in the scan list. An example scan sequence would be P1 (priority 1), C2, P1, C3, P1,
C4, etc. Also, the priority channel will be scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority
channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P1, the radio will
drop C3 and switch to P1.
7.15.1.3 PRIORITY 2 CHANNEL
This channel will also be scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence would be P1, C2,
P1, C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9 etc. Also, this channel will be scanned even while
![](/img.php?id=1566532&img=bg31.png)
14221-1200-2010
49
actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and
activity is detected on P2, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P2. Additionally, activity on P1 can also
preempt P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1.
7.15.2 ZONE SCAN
Zone scan is conventional only and consists of all channels in a zone that are selected as scan channels
when generating a mission plan with RPM. Depending on scan options selected in RPM, zone scan lists
may be modified to include or exclude channels.
Analog channels using different receive frequencies may be added in any combination of squelch type up
to the limits of the size of the scan list.
7.15.3 GROUP SCAN
Group scan is trunked only and allows the radio to monitor many groups simultaneously, permitting the
user to both monitor and receive calls from these groups. Depending on scan options selected in RPM,
group scan lists may be modified to include or exclude groups.
7.15.4 VOTE SCAN
If vote scan is enabled via RPM, the radio automatically selects the strongest signal ensuring that the best
audio quality is delivered to the user. If vote scan is enabled, the radio is always scanning. You cannot
stop scanning, start normal scanning, or monitor the channel. There is an icon in the upper status bar
indicating that the radio is vote scanning.
NOTE
If Talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is turned off.
7.15.5 SET OR REMOVE PRIORITY 1 AND PRIORITY 2 CHANNELS
Priority channels are scanned more often than non-priority channels. Note that P1 can be configured via
RPM as “Keypad,” “Fixed,” or “Selected.”
P2 can be configured via RPM as “Keypad” or “Fixed.”
Zone scan configuration screens are shown below. Group scan configuration is similar.
1. Enter Set up Scan (see Section 7.15) and select GROUP LIST or
ZONE LIST.

10.2 OTAR ERRORS/INFORMATION
WORKAROUNDS:
1. Zeroize.
2. Load proper KEK from the Motorola KVL or Harris UKEK Loader.
IF RADIO INDICATES:
1. INVALID KEYSTORE ZEROIZE NEEDED:
This occurs if the radio’s keys were loaded by the Harris Key Loader followed by an attempt to load
UKEKs with the UKEK Loader or keys with the Motorola KVL. Fix by performing workaround 1,
followed by 2.
2. NO UKEK – Displayed during a zeroize performed from the radio or a zeroize initiated from the
KMF.
- Fix by performing workaround 2.
3. Zeroize Complete – KMF has zeroized the radio.
- Fix by performing workaround 2.
4. Disabled OTAR Icon (red slash) – OTAR is disabled while in scan, talkaround, emergency, and
monitor.
- Fix by disabling these features. Icon will be corrected (no red slash).
5. Gray OTAR Icon (no red slash) – OTAR has not registered with tower (Conventional or Trunked
system).
- Fix by verifying proper frequencies.
- If the radio is turned to the OTAR channel out of range of a conventional tower, and then comes
in range after 3 minutes, fix by issuing an OTAR. Rekey, leaving and re-enter the OTAR channel.
6. Green OTAR Icon – OTAR is registered, all is well.
- If update fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.
7. Blue OTAR Icon – OTAR is attempting to rekey.
- If rekey fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.
