S af et y /U s age Con s i der at i on s
• Ensure all connections are secure prior to use
• Keep PCU & UAI antenna at least 20 cm (8 inches)
away from individuals w/ pacemaker
• Keep PCU/UAI volume at minimum fully-audible level
• Do not short contacts on battery pack; keep loose
batteries away from metal objects
• Cease use of CCS immediately upon erratic or
unexpected vehicle behavior.
S af et y /U s age Con s i der at i on s
(CONTINUED)
• All critical voice communication should be repeated
back to originator
• Changes of setting/mode may result in brief loss of
communication (2-4 sec) -- allow PCU display to blank
before transmitting
• Removing bailout cable for remote use may result in 68 s ec l os s of c om m .
• CCS VOX is less sensitive than wired VIC-3 VOX; may
require louder voice/inflection to activate
• Mic boom should be touching lips when talking to
ensure VOX is maintained.
S af et y /U s age Con s i der at i on s
(CONTINUED)
• Remote personnel will notice static / decrease in signal
quality when moving out of range of vehicle (>250 m).
• If comm. is lost due to moving out of range, user may
have to move completely back within range of vehicle to
recover comm.
• When operating remotely, loss of PCU Power will result
in loss of Headset functions (ANR and audio passthrough)
• PCU power must be recycled if headset becomes
disconnected from PCU
• UAI power must be recycled is turret power is reset
• Maximum simultaneous remote talkers = 4. Current
talkers have priority
S af et y /U s age Con s i der at i on s
(CONTINUED)
• Radio access for ALL remote PCUs is determined
by settings of FFCS connected to UAI (i.e. Gunner’s
FFCS)
• Coordinate assigned channels for each vehicle prior to
m i s s i on.
• UAIs/PCUs should switch back to assigned channel
after Group or Autonomous use
• Channel 64 is reserved for test use
• When powering-on unit, self test display may “blink”
indicating unit is resetting, do not attempt use until
steady “PA” is seen
• UAI and PCUs must always be on Audio setting (“AU”)

NOTE – This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
WARNING – Changes or modifications to the Cordless
Communication Equipment described herein, not
expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance, could void the authority to operate the
equipment.
RF EXPOSURE – For body worn operation, the PCU has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with the Northrop Grumman designated antenna,
battery pack and headset, and when less than 2.5 cm
separation is maintained between the antenna and the
user’s body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure guidelines, the
UAI must be installed and operated in such a way that a
minimum separation distance of 20 cm is always
maintained between the antennas and all persons during
normal operation.
