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
Jun 15 (Iss. 1.4)
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:

The radio transmitter power output is 5 Watts for PTT controlled, held-to-face or bodyworn
applications in analogue systems, or for DMR systems, 5 Watts burst power.

For radios enabled for held-to-ear Duplex operation in DMR systems, the transmitter power
output is 2.5 Watts burst power.

For operation in held-to-face or bodyworn applications, 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).

For operation in DMR systems using Duplex held-to-ear applications, PTT control is not
required, but calls should always be kept as short as possible.

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.

When using the radio in Handheld in front of face position, always keep the radio at least
5 cm (2.0 inches) from the face when transmitting. When using the radio in a Bodyworn
position, use only Simoco accessories that will ensure the correct compliance distance of at
least 12 mm (0.45 inches) from the body. This radio has been tested for RF exposure
compliance at the distances listed in Table 1.

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:

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.

FUNCTIONS
SDP650 – USER MANUAL
TNM-U-E-0115

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.

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.
Turning the radio off and on will disable emergency mode.
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 3 seconds) 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.

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.
4.9
DUPLEX OPERATION
Duplex mode allows telephony calls to be made where users can simultaneously talk and hear the
other party, without the need to PTT during transmissions. During operation, the audio is routed
through the portables earpiece (located directly above the display).
To activate duplex functionality, this mode must be enabled in both the infrastructure and the
terminal, and is applicable only to Tier III (Trunking) systems.
4.9.1
Setup – Infrastructure
In SDMT, on the Subscribers configuration page, ensure that the ‘Mode’ for the relevant Portable
Radio ID is set to ‘Duplex Mode’.
4.9.2
Setup – SDP650
In the FPP, on the Systems branch of the navigation tree, ensure that the ‘Outgoing Telephony
Calls are Duplex’ checkbox is selected. See Figure 8 below.
Figure 8. Duplex Setup in FPP.
4.9.3
Receiving Duplex Calls on the SDP650
In a Full Off Air Call Set Up (FOACSU) system, the radio will start ringing. Calls can be answered
by pressing either the PTT button or the green connect button.
For Off Air Call Set Up (OACSU) systems, the radio will automatically answer any incoming duplex
calls.
For this model, no icons or text notifications are displayed to indicate that this call type is a duplex
call.
4.9.4
Initiating Duplex Calls from the SDP650
Duplex calls can only be achieved on the SDP650 radio if the contact is pre-configured within the
channels contact list.

MUTE
Figure 16. Mute Adjust screen.
The default Mute Adjustment range is from 0 – 15. The mute adjustment setting will be applied to
all the radio’s analogue channels.
The SDM600 series radios have a carrier noise mute and it is recommended that a default mute
setting of 4 is used. This means that, with a setting of 4, the mute will open at the point where an
analogue signal is sufficiently noise free to be intelligible.
Other settings are as follows:

0 No muting. Allows all decodable signals to the radio user’s audio output device
(loudspeaker, headset etc.).

Normal default setting.

Only reasonably strong signals will be heard.

15 Only very strong or near perfect signals will be heard.
Use the ▼ and ▲ keys to adjust the mute threshold. Press the F1 key to save the selected mute
setting and return to the previous screen.
Direct access to the ‘Mute Adjust’ screen from other screens can also be programmed to one of
the function buttons with the FPP.

CONTACT MENU
The Contact Menu allows user to select the communication entity they wish to call, e.g. individual
radio unit (UID or SUID), talk group of radio units (TGID), dialled external network access gateway
(phone, internet, other radio networks, dispatchers), and PABX/PSTN.
Up to 20 Contact Lists can be created and programmed into the Radio with the FPP. Each
Contact List can have up to 600 entries. Each Contact List is assigned on a per “Channel” basis in
the Zone set up section of the FPP.
Therefore, the Contact list displayed via the Contact menu is the Contact List assigned to the
radio’s currently selected Channel. This ensures that a user can’t select a Contact who uses a
different mode than the one selected.

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 A, B, C OR D
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.
7.7.1
Go To Contact A, B, C or D
This function allows the first four contact entries to be allocated to the keys rather than having to
navigate through the menu system.
7.8
MENU
The Menu function key is used for accessing the menu system.

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.
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 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 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:

The radio’s man down system is enabled by pressing the allocated Man Down button.

The 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 “learning” 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.
7.13 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.
