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 Unity™ XG-100P portable radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission FCC Radio Frequency (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), Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers, Inc (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. 10515-0372-4000 2.1 RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: CAUTION 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 Corporation RF Communications Division for use with this radio. 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 red transmit indicator appears in the display. The radio transmits by pressing the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. 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/microphones, 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 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) from the body and at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. 10515-0372-4000 Table 2-1: RF Exposure Compliance Tested Distances The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of a RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Radio Frequency Minimum Tested Distances Body Face VHF-High (136–174 MHz) 0.47 in (1.2 cm)* 0.98 in (2.5 cm) UHF-Low (380–520 MHz) 0.47 in (1.2 cm)* 0.98 in (2.5 cm) 700/800 MHz (762–800 MHz) 0.47 in (1.2 cm)* 0.98 in (2.5 cm) * Note: This device complies with FCC RF Exposure requirements for bodyworn operations when used with the body-worn accessories tested and approved for the Unity XG-100P. The body-worn accessory tested with the minimum distance of 1.2 cm is the Harris Belt-Clip Part No. 12082-1291-01. In order to comply with the FCC RF Exposure requirements for body-worn operations, a minimum distance of 1.2 cm must be maintained from the back of the radio to the user’s body using the Harris Belt-Clip Part No. 12082-1291-01 or other accessory tested and approved for the Unity XG100P. 2.2 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE CAUTION During transmissions, the XG-100P generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radios in areas where signs are posted to do so. Do not operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES Do not crush, disassemble, reverse polarity, incinerate, or mutilate the Lithium-ion battery. Do not expose the battery to fire or temperatures above 158 °F (70 °C). The battery can rupture or explode if it becomes hot, causing serious injury. If a hissing sound is heard or an irritating smell occurs, move equipment to a well-ventilated area. If the battery pack is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water. If the battery electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician immediately. 10515-0372-4000 Do not modify Lithium-ion battery packs. The Lithium-ion battery packs are equipped with built-in safety and protection features. Should these features be disabled or tampered with in any way, the battery pack can leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or, ignite. Do not dispose of Lithium-ion batteries in uncontrolled trash. A damaged Lithium-ion battery that is exposed to water could cause a fire or explosion, causing personal injury. Batteries with cracked or damaged cases should be replaced immediately. Do not hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on. Always keep the antenna at least 0.43 inches (1.1 cm) away from the body and 0.98 inch (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. Do not use the XG-100P with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if skin comes into contact with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna missing could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC regulations. Use only supplied or approved antennas. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations. CAUTION CAUTION ACID CONTAMINATES LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES. Every effort must be made to keep lithium-ion batteries isolated from lead-acid batteries. Leas acid batteries contain sulphuric acid. Any trace of acid or acid fumes will permanently damage Lithium-ion batteries on contact. Do not use the same tools and materials such as screwdrivers, wrenches, hydrometers, or gloves when working on or around both types of batteries. 10515-0372-4000 4 OPERATION Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit. In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted antenna. Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 4.1.1 Electronic Devices CAUTION 4.1.2 RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment, always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off! Aircraft Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft! Use it on the ground only with crew permission. DO NOT use while in-flight!! 4.1.3 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) 10515-0372-4000 4.1.4 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that a radio or its accessories could generate sparks.
