4.2.11 RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication)
This screen displays the received signal strength in dBm. The reading is typically accurate
within +/- 2 dBm between -120 and -80dBm, if the radio has been correctly calibrated. For
example, -90dBm is a strong signal and –120dBm is no signal.
The screen also shows the Bit Error Rate (BER) on digital channels. RSSI and BER are
typically used to indicate signal quality.
From the Settings Sub Menu, step through the menu options with the ▼ and ▲ keys until the
“RSSI” menu is displayed.
Press the “OK” key for the “RSSI“ screen
If a Digital channel is selected BER will be displayed.
The RSSI/BER will be displayed until either the “Menu” key is pressed to return to the next
highest menu level or the “OK” key is pressed which will return to the main channel menu.
A lower RSSI value indicates a stronger signal, ie. –80dBm is a stronger signal than
–100dBm.

TRANSMITTING
To avoid interfering with other users of the channel, listen first, or check that the “speaker”
icon is not present, to ensure no transmissions are occurring.
If the speaker icon is shown, there are transmissions present on the channel and the user
should not transmit. The radio may be programmed to prevent transmission on a busy
channel if required.
Hold the microphone a few centimetres from the mouth, press the “Press to talk” (PTT)
switch and note that the TX-LED is RED. Wait for the grant tone, and then speak clearly
across the face of the microphone in a normal conversational manner.
In most systems it is important to wait a short time between pressing PTT and commencing
to speak. This ensures that the path is properly established and avoids lost or distorted
speech.
Use the correct operating procedure and keep transmissions short.
Release the PTT switch as soon as the message is finished.
The talkgroup for a transmission is usually associated with a channel selection. A talkgroup
will address all others that have the same TGID selected.
While on a P25 Channel, the transmission will be P25 digital. For an Analogue channel, the
transmission will be Analogue FM
Note: A Transmit Limit Timer may be setup that limits a continuous transmission on a
channel. The last 10 seconds before the timer expires may be accompanied by warning
beeps.
5.7
SCAN/VOTE FUNCTIONS
The Scan/Vote Function allows the sequential searching of up to 16 channels if the selected
zone channel is programmed as a Scan channel, and 15 channels if the selected zone
channel is programmed as a Vote channel, for a valid signal (Carrier + CTCSS / DCS tone
for Analogue FM or Network Access Code for P25). When found, the radio will stop on that
channel until the signal disappears again.
To activate Scanning, select a channel that has been programmed as a Scan channel. Once
selected, the scanning will either start automatically, if programmed, or you will need to press
the programmed scan function button. (Field Programmer configurable).
If a selected zone channel is programmed as a Vote channel, the voting will start
automatically without any other user intervention.
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 (Field programmer
configurable, typically 3 seconds) before resuming scanning or voting

ENCRYPTION
In P25 Digital mode, radio channels may be programmed for Encryption.
The encryption state of the selected channel is determined by the radio configuration. An
encrypted channel will display the
encryption icon.
A radio channel that has been programmed for encryption will receive either clear or
encrypted traffic. A transmission on this channel will be encrypted.
The encryption icon will not be shown if a received signal is not encrypted when on an
encrypted channel.
The current channel’s transmit encryption key can be temporarily changed from the Crypto
menu.
When in Analogue FM mode, there is a simple voice inversion scrambler for low security
applications.
A double beep will sound at the start of each PTT.
The scrambler function key is assigned using the Field Programmer.

COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE GUIDELINES (UNITED STATES
CANADA)
AND
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS.
Before using your ComGroup Australia mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy
awareness and control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s
RF exposure guidelines.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in Occupational/ controlled conditions in a mobile
application where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over
their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorised for general population,
consumer, or any other 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 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, 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 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 two-way radios marketed is North America 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:l/www.fcc. gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-fags. htm 1
http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencvradiation/index.htmi
Federal Communications Commission Regulations:
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile
two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. 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. An exposure awareness label is attached to the
equipment directing users to specific awareness information.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your TMC two-way radio is designed 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 (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for Occupational/ Controlled RF
exposure environment at duty factors of up to 50% talk 50% listen and is authorised by the FCC for
occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines,
your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your ComGroup Australia two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards
and guidelines:
