Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 8 PERSONAL SAFETY SDP650 – USER MANUAL TNM-U-E-0115 COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE GUIDELINES (UNITED STATES AND CANADA) RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS AND Before using your Simoco portable two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCCs) RF exposure guidelines. NOTICE. This radio is intended for use in Occupational/Controlled conditions in a portable application where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the occupational limits in FCC/ICNIRP and International Standards. This radio device is NOT authorised for general population consumer use. 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 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. All Simoco two-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 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://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/ Federal Communications Commission Regulations The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-way radios before they can be marketed in the United States (US). 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. Simoco two-way radios have an exposure awareness label attached to the equipment directing users to specific awareness information. Do not remove this exposure awareness label from the device. Additionally, your Simoco user manual or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance regulations. Compliance with RF Exposure Standards Simoco two-way radios are designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) exposure limits for Occupational/Controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk 50% listen and is authorised by the FCC Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 9 RF ENERGY COMPLIANCE SDP650 – USER MANUAL TNM-U-E-0115 for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. Your Simoco 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. • Australian Communications Authority Radio Communications Standard et seq. • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition. • Industry Canada RSS-102. RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the Occupational/Controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures. Guidelines: • User awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to other users. • This radio meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the Simoco accessories supplied or designated for the product. The designated Simoco belt clip type is PAR600CLIP and the extension speaker microphone types are PAR-9180LMS2-2, PAR9180LMW1 and PAR-600LMS4. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines and may violate FCC regulations. • 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. To receive calls (listen), release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). • Do not operate the radio without an approved antenna attached, as this may cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. With this product, only use an antenna supplied or approved by Simoco. • Always keep the radio at least 5 cm (2.0 inches) from the face when transmitting and at least 10 mm (0.4 inches) from the body. This radio has been tested for RF exposure compliance at the distances listed in Table 1. Table 1.

Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 23 FUNCTIONS SDP650 – USER MANUAL 4.3 TNM-U-E-0115 SELECTING A ZONE Zones are groups of channels that are intended to be used in a particular geographical or functional zone (e.g. North, South, Security, Fire Control). The radio supports up to 40 zones, each with a maximum of 250 channels. A radio must have at least one zone defined to be functional and a channel may be used in more than one zone. A Zone can be selected as follows: Through menu selection: 1.1 By using the function keys: 2.1 4.4 Go to the Zone menu, use the ▲ and ▼ keys to choose the required zone and press the F1 key to select it. From the main default screen, a zone can quickly be selected by pressing the ‘Zone Up’ or ‘Zone Down’ function keys when these have been programmed. SELECTING A CHANNEL The radio can have up to 2000 channels in its channel database. A channel can be selected as follows: Through menu selection: 1.1 By using the function keys: 2.1 4.5 Go to the Channel menu, use the ▲ and ▼ keys to choose the required channel and press theF1 key to select it. From the main default screen, a channel can quickly be selected by pressing the ‘Channel Up’ or ‘Channel Down’ function keys when these have been programmed. MAKING A CALL (TRANSMITTING) Select the Zone/Channel required on which to make the call. To avoid interfering with other users of the channel, listen first to ensure no transmissions are occurring. To transmit, to the selected channel’s default radio talk group, hold the radio or microphone about 10 cm in front of the mouth and press the PTT switch. Wait until the radio indicates that the Tx is transmitting and then speak clearly in a normal conversational manner. In most systems it is important to wait a short time (0.5 secs) between pressing the PTT button and commencing to speak. This allows the transmission path to be properly established (or not) and avoids lost or distorted speech. On some channels, the radio may provide alert tones to indicate the success or failure of the establishment of the transmission path. Only speak after the tone indicating the transmission's successful establishment. The radio’s LED will also turn Red to show that the transmitter is active Use the correct operating procedure and keep transmissions as short as possible. Release the PTT switch as soon as you have completed your message in order to hear any replies. The radio cannot listen and talk to groups simultaneously. Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 24 FUNCTIONS SDP650 – USER MANUAL TNM-U-E-0115 If you wish to talk to other groups or individuals these can be selected on the contact menu or dialled before pressing the PTT. Notes: (i). A channel may be programmed as Receive-only or Transmit Inhibit, which can disallow PTT. A continuous tone will be heard if PTT is attempted. (ii). A Transmit Limit Timer may be setup that limits a single continuous transmission. The last 10 seconds before the timer expires may be accompanied by warning tones. A call can be made as follows: Go to the ‘Contact’ or ‘Call Log’ menus. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to select the contact you wish to call. Press the PTT key to transmit the call. 4.6 RECEIVING The radio will listen on the displayed Channel. Changing channels can be achieved by either: • Pressing the ▲ ▼ buttons; or • Pressing a “Go-to-Channel” Function Button, refer to Section 7.7. When receiving a call, press the PTT key within the preset time period to call back. 4.6.1 Received Individual Calls Unanswered received Individual calls addressed to the radio are stored in radio memory. The caller UID may be viewed, answered and deleted by the user as desired. A newly received individual call addressed to the radio sounds an alert tone periodically until the user presses any key. If the caller UID of a newly received unanswered call is already in the Call Log list, the old Call Log record of that UID will be replaced by the new record and added to the top of the list. To view/answer/delete received call records, select the Call Log menu option. 4.7 4.7.1 EMERGENCY ALARM Receiving Emergency Calls When an emergency call is being received, a message will be displayed on the default screen ‘EMG’ indicating the radio unit sending the emergency call. 4.7.2 Making an Emergency Call When the emergency key is pressed and held for a time determined by the FPP, the radio will change to emergency mode. Under emergency mode, the radio can operate in three FPP configurable modes: • Frozen. The screen will freeze in the state it was in before the emergency mode became active. The Emergency mode message will not be displayed, thus, showing no sign to the observer that the emergency mode has been triggered. Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 25 FUNCTIONS SDP650 – USER MANUAL • TNM-U-E-0115 Blank. The screen will blank giving no indication to others that the radio is in emergency mode. When emergency mode is triggered, the radio can be configured by the FPP to transmit and receive on a cyclic basis with FPP programmed time periods. During Tx, the radio will generate an emergency broadcast call on either the currently selected channel or an FPP nominated channel. Others may listen to the automatic transmissions to hear conversations near the radio. The power button is not operable in emergency alarm mode. The radio can be programmed to exit emergency alarm mode when the number of programmed cycles is completed or to remain in emergency alarm mode. To terminate the emergency alarm mode, the battery must be disconnected and re-connected. 4.8 SCAN FUNCTIONS The Scan Function allows the sequential searching of up to 16 channels, if the selected zone channel is programmed as a Scan channel, for a valid signal (Carrier + CTCSS/DCS tone for Analogue FM or Colour Code for DMR). When found, the radio will stop on that channel until the signal disappears again. If scanning is enabled on your radio, press the F4 button from the Main Channel Screen to enter Scan Mode, or select a channel that has been programmed as a scan channel. Once selected, the scanning will either start automatically, if programmed, or the programmed scan function button will need to be pressed. (FPP configurable). While listening on the channel, the user is able to PTT on that channel. After the signal disappears, the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time (FPP configurable, typically 4 seconds for scanning and 2 seconds for voting) before resuming scanning. If a Priority Channel is assigned to Scan mode, the radio will interleave a check of this channel between each normal Scan channel. The radio may also check the Priority Channel every few seconds while stopped on a channel. If a signal is found on the Priority Channel then the radio will switch to that channel immediately. 4.8.1 Scan Screen The display screen during scanning shows the name of the current Scan-Group (e.g. West), which can be changed using the ▲ ▼ buttons. (User Scan Groups can be edited by the User). The Scan Screen does not time-out. Press the F4 button to exit to the Main Channel screen. The ▲ and ▼ buttons allow access to the other screens (not Main Channel Screen). When these other menus time-out, the display returns to the Scan Screen. In the Scan Screen the function buttons are assigned as follows: • F1 Go to other Menus. • F3 Skip channel (only while receiving a signal). • F4 Exit scanning. Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 26 FUNCTIONS SDP650 – USER MANUAL TNM-U-E-0115 The F3 button temporarily deletes (skips) the channel from the Scan-Group. Skip is only active when stopped on a channel. Skipped channels are restored when a different Scan Group is selected or if Scan is exited. The Priority Channel cannot be skipped.

Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 37 MENU SCREENS SDP650 – USER MANUAL TNM-U-E-0115 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Special functions can be programmed to each of the keys/buttons on the SDP650 Portable Radio by the FPP. These special functions can be simple short cuts to specific menus or an on/off toggle facility for specific actions. 7.1 CHANNEL UP AND DOWN These function keys will change the channel in the upward or downward directions. 7.2 ZONE UP AND DOWN These function keys will change the zone in the upward or downward directions. 7.3 SCAN ON/OFF These function keys will start and stop Scanning. 7.4 SKIP The Skip function removes a scan channel from the scan list if the Skip button is pressed while stopped on that channel. The channel is only restored to the list when the channel is re-selected. 7.5 TALK AROUND ON/OFF On a repeater channel only, a Talk Around function key allows the radio to transmit on the base station’s output channel, so the user can talk directly to other mobiles on the channel, while the repeater is out of service or out of range. When the key is pressed again (or the Channel is changed) the mobile’s Tx channel reverts to its normal setting. Talk Around mode is indicating to the user by a double beep at the start of each PTT. 7.6 LOW POWER The Low Power function key forces the radio to low power. Pressing the function button again puts the radio back to the power level defined for the current channel. The “forced low power state” is not affected by channel/zone changes. 7.7 GO TO CHANNEL 1, 2, 3 OR 4 These functions allow specific zones and channels to be allocated to the keys rather than having to navigate through the menu system or using the ▲ and ▼ buttons. 7.8 MENU The Menu function key is used for accessing the menu system. 7.9 SHORTCUTS These are specific functions that provide direct access to the ‘Channel’, ‘Zone’, ‘Contact’ and ‘Mute Adjust’ menus. 7.10 RESET The Reset function is usually assigned to the F6 key, and is used as a cancel function when in a menu or as a backspace when entering keypad dial-strings. Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 38 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS SDP650 – USER MANUAL TNM-U-E-0115 7.11 SPEAKER MUTE The speaker mute function key will mute the audio output to the speaker. Pressing the function button again will again allow audio to be heard at the speaker. 7.12 UNDEFINED No function is assigned to the relevant key. 7.13 MAN DOWN The Man Down function provides support for the radio's automatic alarm sequence to be executed if the radio's inbuilt accelerometer senses certain unusual patterns in the orientation and movement of the radio. The detection process uses an orientation "learning" period, immediately after the man down function is enabled, to establish the how the radio is normally held. Once this is established, any significant and prolonged deviation from this orientation or an unexpected acceleration is considered to be an alarm event. The radio also senses normal walking movement. If this stops for a period of time, this is also considered an alarm event. Once the Man Down function is triggered, a warning beep will sound and the operator has a set time to disarm the sending of an Alarm Status using a programmed "Man Down" button (see buttons). The Man Down system sequence is: • • • • • • • • Radio's man down system is enabled by selecting the Man Down function by pressing the allocated Man Down button. Radio uses a 3D accelerometer to determine the direction of the gravity's 1 g downward acceleration. The direction of this force is averaged during the "training" time. Once trained, the gravity component of the acceleration is removed, leaving only movement, impacts and mis-orientation acceleration to be sensed. User movement is monitored for the normal patterns of acceleration associated with the walking movement. Mis-orientation is indicated by the gravity force not being cancelled by the "trained" counterforce. Falls, impacts and other unexpected trauma can be sensed by sudden accelerations that exceed the force of gravity. If any of these events occur, the Man Down audible alert is triggered. The user has the set time to cancel the alert or the radio will enter the emergency alarm mode (see Alarm). Then the Man Down system uses the radio's emergency automatic voice transmission sequencer, programmed by the Alarm settings, to monitor the audio at the scene of the incident. Jul 13 (Iss. 1.1) Page 39 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS SDP650 – USER MANUAL TNM-U-E-0115 7.14 LONE WORKER Lone Worker is used to initiate emergency alarm mode when the user is unresponsive after a predetermined time. A data message is also sent to the device management software (via the gateway) indicating that the worker may be incapacitated. The Lone Worker countdown is reset after any user activity with the radio- either PTT or “Lone Worker” button are pressed. 7.15 DMR ALL CALL This function is used as a short sequence of key presses for “All Call” dial string (******#). In order to initiate All Call. The user should press PTT within 5 seconds after “DMR All Call” button is pressed. 7.16 DIAL STRINGS The dial plan specifies a sequence of digit number in contact list that can be programmed in SDP650, via FPP, to initiate connectivity to a remote party using another terminal in the network.
