with 18Ksym/sec. modulation rate, equivalent to 36Kbits/sec. So, the equipment meets a data
rate on each physical channel of 9000bits/sec. per 6.25 KHz of channel bandwidth.
Unapproved modifications or changes to this equipment may cause harmful interference
unless the modifications are expressly approved by PowerTrunk. In this case, the user could
lose the authority to operate with this equipment.
2.2 RF Exposure Requirements
Your MDT-500 equipment, together with the accessories for which PowerTrunk has obtained
official approval, have been designed and manufactured so that they do not exceed the limits
of exposure to radio frequency energy established in international guidelines.
These regulations, which are result of periodical scientific trials by independent organisations,
include a considerable safety margin, designed to guarantee the safety of all staff, regardless
of their age or state of health.
The following label will be placed in conspicuous view on the MDT-500:

2.3 Electromagnetic compatibility
The majority of electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference if they are
not adequately shielded, designed or configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid these compatibility conflicts, respect the current regulations of the area you are in,
and turn off the terminal whenever its use is prohibited, when it may cause interference or be
hazardous, for example, at hospitals or health care premises, where equipment sensitive to
external RF radiation may be being used.
Using two devices with antennas in close proximity may cause mutual interference. If this were
to occur, separate the antennas until the interference disappears.
2.4 Other warnings
High surface temperature
Warning: Burns may be suffered if the bare part of the antenna is
touched during radio equipment transmissions.
Long periods of transmission may cause the rear part of the
equipment, where the power amplifier radiator is located, to reach a
high temperature.
Vehicles
Vehicular Installation
The MDT-500 terminal must be supplied with a continuous nominal
12V voltage in equipment terminals (minimum 10.8V, maximum 15.6
V).

es
RF signals may affect motor vehicles’ electronic systems if they are not properly installed or
well protected. For more information, check these aspects of your vehicle or the equipment
you have added with their manufacturers.
MDT-500 equipment has been approved in conformity with European Directive 95/54/CE to
guarantee safety in vehicle installations, due to radio equipment transmissions affecting the
vehicle’s electronic systems: electronic ignition systems, brake control (ABS), traction or
speed control and onboard computer systems.
For correct installation of the equipment, please follow the instructions given in the MDT-500
Installation Guide. Avoid using the area above the airbag or the area where it will inflate.
Airbags inflate with great force and the equipment could be projected forward and cause
serious injuries to vehicle occupants.
Potentially explosive environments
Disconnect the equipment when you are in an area with a potential explosion hazard and
comply with all notices and instructions.
Areas with a risk of explosions are often (although not always) indicated. Amongst these are
fuel filling areas (Ship decks, petrol stations, installations used for storing and transporting fuel
or chemical products) vehicles that use LPG and areas where the air contains particles such
as grain, powder or metal particles.
Sparks in these areas can cause explosions or fires, with the resulting risk of injury and even
death.
Driver safety
Check the laws and regulations on using mobile phones and radiotelephones in the area
where you are to drive and always abide by them. While driving, concentrate all your attention
on driving and always have your hands free to manoeuvre the vehicle.
User Guide

3.2 Working modes.
6. There are three working modes: network mode (V+D), direct mode (DMO) and DMO-
GATE mode. In network mode (V+D), the equipment will be operational when the system
has been successfully registered. Then the display will show the symbols (Valid
network indicator) and (signal level indicator).
7. During the system registration and network access process, the SVC LED will be lit up
continuously in red, and when a valid network is found it will flash and try to register into
it. When the register is complete, a characteristic programmable acoustic signal will be
heard, the SVC LED will turn green and the screen will display the message “In service”.
If the equipment is unable to access a network, the display will show “No service” and the
SVC LED will stay red. Even if the equipment has not registered, it is possible to access
the Main Menu, to select the Direct working Mode, for example, without need for
infrastructure.
8. In DMO mode, the SVC LED will be green and the symbol (Direct mode active
indicator) will be displayed in the symbol line of the display (Upper line). In this mode, the
symbol (valid network indicator) is not displayed.
9. If the equipment has the DMO-GATE option available, this working mode can be
selected, which will enable the transfer of group calls from the network to terminals in
DMO mode and vice versa.
10. The equipment may be configured to start in any of the available modes or it is possible
to change the mode manually through the “Working modes” menu.
