Hunt

In the DMR system, the terminal is required to register with a base station for normal work. Before registering, the terminal will hunt through the control channels for available base stations. The system provides multiple hunt policies for the registered terminals to ensure normal communications. Last Registered List: This list saves the last 10 control channels on which the radio has worked prior to power-off.

Note: You cannot view the Last Registered List on the UI

because it runs in the background.

Short Hunt

The radio will hunt for the last 10 control channels on which it has worked. If the radio fails to register on all the 10 channels, it will go on with the Fixed TSCC List. The hunt process will cycle until the radio successfully registers with a base station.

Comprehensive Hunt

Short hunt would be performed preferentially. If short hunt brings no successful registration, comprehensive hunt will go from the channel defined at Minimum. Every 100 channels are hunted during comprehensive hunt, the previously said 10 channels will be hunted again. If no successful registration

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions

To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures. Guidelines:

• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.

• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.

• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.

Operating 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, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50 % of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).

• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other

parts of the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes.

• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Excera’s approved clip, holder,

holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important because the use of Excera’s or other manufacturer ’s non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.

• If you are not using a body-wor n accessory and are not using the radio in the intended

use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least

2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper

distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.

• Use only Excera's approved supplied

and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
