iiiProduct Safety and RF Exposure Product Safety and RF Exposure ComplianceATTENTION! This radio is restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements. Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness information and operating instructions below. Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure Bookletfor Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed in Vehicles or as Fixed Site Control StationsATTENTION!The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides published prior to February 2002.RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and Operational Instructions for FCC Occupational Use RequirementsNOTICE: 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.This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (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, 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 safe 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.Before using this product, read the operating instructions for safe usage contained in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio.BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS BOOKLET WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.!C a u t i o nPM1200.book Page iii Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
PM1200 Mobile Radio with Control Head ivAll Motorola 2-way radios 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 2-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 Web sites 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.htmlFederal Communication Commission RegulationsThe FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile 2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-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 Motorola 2-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your Motorola user manual, or separate safety booklet, includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.Compliance with RF Exposure StandardYour Motorola 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 radio frequency 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 (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 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) C95.1-2005 Edition• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard, 2003• ANATEL, Brazil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) “additional requirements for SMR, cellular, and PCS product certification.”PM1200.book Page iv Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
vRF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating InstructionsTo control exposure to yourself and others and to ensure compliance with the RF exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.Guidelines:• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.Instructions:•Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button or, for radios equipped with VOX, speak into the microphone. The red LED will illuminate when the radio is transmitting. To receive calls, release the PTT button, or, for radios equipped with VOX, stop talking. The red LED will extinguish when the radio stops transmitting. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).•Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away, as shown in Table 1, from the body of a vehicle with a properly installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed (according to installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the standards listed above.NOTE: Table 1 below lists the recommended lateral distance for people in an uncontrolled environment from the body of a vehicle with an approved, properly installed transmitting antenna (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at several different ranges of rated radio power for mobile radios installed in a vehicle.• When a mobile radio is used in conjunction with another co-located transmitter such as a Vehicular Repeater, it is the vehicle operator’s responsibility to take appropriate steps to keep bystanders at the required separation distance from the vehicle to ensure compliance with the FCC's RF energy exposure limits for the general population. See the co-located transmitter’s user manual for more details.NOTE: If you are not sure of the rated power of your radio, contact your Motorola representative or dealer and supply the radio model number found on the radio model label. If you can not determine the rated power out, then assure 5.08-feet separation from the body of the vehicle. The maximum power shown on the FCC Grant may be higher than the rated power allowing for production variation.Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines• These mobile antenna installation guidelines are limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles with appropriate ground planes.Table 1.

PM1200 Mobile Radio with Control Head 11Radio Firmware Features5.0 Self TestWhen the radio is on, it performs a routine check to initialize and to check for any possible hardware error before actual usage. An error code appears when there is an error during the self test. Description of the error codes is as follow: Error1: General communication data error. Most likely caused by one of the listed conditions in the Programming Problems section.Error2: Incompatible administrative data. Overhead programming data (which is not displayed by the programming software) is incompatible with the radio. This also occurs occasionally during radio-to-radio cloning.6.0 Radio ConfigurationThe features described below are set as radio wide setting.6.1 Time-Out TimerTime-Out Timer (TOT) is the maximum amount of communication time allowed per transmission, while operating the radio. Once this time expires, the transmission is automatically terminated. TOT is set through the CPS. The transmit time-out timer can be set between 0.5 minute to 7.5 minute in increment of 0.5 minute or "unlimited". When a call is initiated, the radio starts the transmit time-out timer. During transmission, the radio generates a time-out timer warning tone ten seconds before time-out, indicating that the radio is about to stop transmitting. Another beep will sound just before the deadline. To resume transmission, release the PTT button and wait for the penalty timer to expire. If you press the PTT button before penalty timer expires, the timer will restart, and you will have to wait another "penalty" period. PM1200.book Page 11 Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
12Radio Firmware Features6.2 Default Status Check (DSC) You can pre-set the volume selector knob to a desired volume level (0 to 10). You can also pre-set the channel selector knob to a desired channel via the CPS. When DSC feature is enabled, the DSC indicator (located beneath the power button) blinks orange when the position of volume selector knob and/or channel selector knob are different than the pre-set position (desired position). The DSC indicator will stop blinking when you successfully sets this to the programmed position. 7.0 Scan FeatureScan feature allows you to listen for activity on more than one conventional channel. The lists of channels that the radio scans and other parameters associated with scan are specified by a Scan List.When you press the ‘Scan’ PF button, the radio rapidly moves through the members of the Scan List looking for activity that would normally cause the speaker to unmute. The radio unmutes when such activity are detected. When both Tx and Rx activity has ceased for the time, the radio will return to the active scan state.The scan mode can be stop by pressing the assigned ‘Scan’ PF button again if the Group Scan feature is disabled.7.1 Dual WatchThis feature is similar to the Scan feature, but Dual Watch only monitors the current Operating Channel and the Priority Channel. The radio will scan the two channels when you press the assigned ‘Dual Watch’ PF button. It pauses each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. You can stop the Dual Watch feature by pressing the assigned PF button again. The operation will revert to the channel to which the channel selector knob is set.PM1200.book Page 12 Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM

If talkback is enabled and the radio is in scanning pause on the landed channel, press the PTT button and the radio will transmit on landed channel. If the talkback is disabled, then the radio should not be able to transmit on the landed channel when the PTT button is pressed. Instead it will transmit on the selected channel.8.0 Conventional Personality This section decribes the individual function of the conventional personality. The features described below takes effect on a per channel basis. It will only affect the particular channel parameter settings and allows each channel to have their own configuration. These individual channel personalities can also be grouped together.8.1 Busy Channel Lockout (BCLO) Busy Channel Lockout (BCLO) is the channel lockout rules while operating on the current channel. When BCLO is disabled via the CPS, you can transmit even if the radio is actively receiving. Press the PTT button to unmute the speaker.When BCLO (on carrier) is enabled via the CPS, you are not allowed to transmit when the radio is actively receiving. Press the PTT button to unmute the speaker.BCLO (on wrong PL) will not allow transmission when the radio is actively receiving (carrier is present) or when an invalid tone is present.PM1200.book Page 13 Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
14Radio Firmware Features8.2 Scan List The list of channels that the radio scans and other parameters associated with scan members are specified in scan list. Each scan list can be configured in the CPS. Scan List has a collection of groups and each group consists of User Scan Lists, Dealer Scan List, Priority Scan Channel and Multiple Group Selection. 9.0 Standard Conventional OperationConventional operations of the radio are Carrier Squelch operation, TPL, DPL and Invert DPLDifferent groups of radio users share the same frequency or channel (community repeater). Without the use of Private Line (PL) tones/codes, each individual group would constantly listen to the transmissions of all groups; this is known as Carrier Squelch operation. Private Line operation is done by outfitting members of each group with radios containing a unique PL tone/code. Their radios will then only unmute to transmissions made by other members of their group. If radios are set to only unmute when a transmission includes their own PL tone/code, then they are not disturbed by conversations of other groups. The sub-audible code that is added to the voice unmutes only those radios with an identical PL tone/code. There are two forms of PL available: Tone Private Line (TPL) and Digital Private Line (DPL). TPL signaling consists of a sub-audible tone that is continuously modulated onto the carrier. The receiving radio will continuously monitor the carrier, and if the correct sub-audible tone is present, the speaker will unmute to the recovered audio. TPL tones are summed together with the voice information during encoding. There are 39 standard sub-audible Telecommunications Industry Associate (TIA)/Electronic Industry Association (EIA) tones between 67.0 Hz and 250.3 Hz, inclusively. The radio will follow the standard for sub-audible Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) that is covered in TIA/EIA-603. PM1200.book Page 14 Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
PM1200 Mobile Radio with Control Head 15Radio Firmware FeaturesDPL signaling consists of a continuous sub-audible digital signal transmitted simultaneously with a voice message. DPL is similar to TPL except that a digital pattern is transmitted rather than a tone. The radio will follow the standard for sub-audible Continuous Digital Controlled Squelch System (CDCSS) that is covered in TIA/EIA-603. Carrier Squelch operation does not require that a sub-audible signal be decoded in order to unmute the radio's speaker. Likewise, it does not produce a sub-audible signal during transmission.9.1 Carrier Squelch Operation (CSQ)The radio unmutes when the carrier energy exceeds the radio-designated carrier energy threshold.When the energy is below the Squelch Threshold, carrier squelch detection is not achieved and radio will remain mute. If a conventional personality is configured via the CPS to transmit CSQ only, no PL tones/codes will be transmitted.If a conventional personality is configured via the CPS to receive CSQ, no PL tones/codes will be checked. The radio will unmute upon detection of carrier squelch.9.2 PL OperationPL is a Motorola term for CTCSS. PL is a sub-audible tone/code used to create unique/private communication groups. There are two types of PL, which in generic terms known as Tone Private Line (TPL) and Digital Private Line (DPL). 9.2.1 Tone Private Line (TPL) You can select TPL from the CPS for individual personality. Each personality have different Squelch type for transmit and receive.PM1200.book Page 15 Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
16Radio Firmware Features9.2.1.1 TPL EncodeConventional channels in the radio with activated Tone Private Line settings transmit with the selected Tone Private Line code (transmit TPL).If TPL is selected, the radio will transmit the TPL code on the selected conventional personality.The TPL code determines which code the conventional personality will transmit.9.2.1.2 TPL DecodeReceive TPL is used upon detection of a sub-audible tone that is used in the unmuting rules of the radio. When the radio decodes the correct TPL sub-audible tone that is being continuously modulated onto the carrier, the radio uses this information in determining if the speaker should be unmuted. The Rx TPL code determines which code the conventional personality will attempt to decode & unmute the radio. 9.2.2 Digital Private Line (DPL)DPL is a Motorola term for CDCSS. DPL is a digital format transmitted along with the carrier. DPL gives more use and privacy on a frequency. DPL is selectable from the CPS for individual personality. Each personality can have different Squelch type for transmit and receive. 9.2.2.1 DPL EncodeTransmit DPL is the modulation of a sub-audible code on a carrier frequency. The sub-audible code is summed with microphone audio prior to modulation.If DPL is selected, the radio will transmit DPL code on the selected conventional personality.The DPL code determines which code the conventional personality will transmit.PM1200.book Page 16 Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
PM1200 Mobile Radio with Control Head 17Radio Firmware Features9.2.2.2 DPL DecodeReceive DPL is used in detection of a sub-audible code that is used in the unmuting rules of the radio. If DPL is selected, the radio will receive digital private line code on the selected conventional personality. The DPL code determines which code the conventional personality will attempt to decode.9.2.3 Inverted DPL Inverted DPL inverts Digital Private Line (DPL) signals when they are received by the radio. Inverted coding allows more traffic/usage on frequencies.If DPL Invert is enabled on the transmit radio but not on the receive radio, then the receive radio will not un-mute.If DPL Invert is enabled on the receive radio but not on the transmit radio, then the receive radio will not un-mute.If DPL Invert is enabled on both the receive radio and the transmit radio, then the receive radio will un-mute. The encode and decode operation of this Inverted DPL should be similar to DPL except all the bits in the DPL code are inverted in the DPL operating process.9.3 TPL Reverse BurstThis feature is used to transmit a Tone Private Line (TPL) code at the end of a transmission - once the PTT button is released, and while operating on the current Conventional Personality. This sub-audible tone causes the receiving radio to mute its speaker before loss of a carrier is detected. Muting the speaker eliminates unwanted noise (squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection.If the TPL Reverse Burst is programmed to standard or non-standard via the CPS, a Tone Private Line (TPL) shut-off code will be transmitted at the end of a transmission once the PTT button is released, on the current Conventional Personality.PM1200.book Page 17 Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
18Radio Firmware FeaturesThe receiving radio will mute its speaker before loss of a carrier is detected, upon receiving the TPL reverse burst. If the TPL Reverse Burst is programmed to None (disabled) via the CPS, then the TPL reverse burst will not be transmitted at the end, upon the PTT button release. If the TPL shut-off code is not transmitted, then the receiving radio will not mute its speaker before loss of a carrier is detected, unwanted noise (squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection will be heard. Table 2 shows the result of squelch tail elimination on the receiving radio based on the TPL reverse burst setting on transmit and receive radio.When Reverse Burst is enabled in the CPS, the TPL Reverse Burst that is transmitted at the end of the transmission changes the phase prior to the removal of the carrier to eliminate the squelch tail.There are 2 formats in use:- Advances the phase of the tone forward 240 degree - Advances the phase of the tone forward 180 degree This setting is programmable in the CPS.Table 2: Squelch Tail Elimination Results TPL Tx Reverse Burst Setting Squelch Tail EliminationTPL Tx Reverse Burst on Transmitting RadioTPL Tx Reverse Burst on Receiving RadioStandard Yes Non-Standard Non-Standard° YesStandard NoPM1200.book Page 18 Thursday, June 21, 2007 3:58 PM
