SAFETY TRAINING
INFORMATION
Your Com-Net Ericsson
radio generates RF
WARNING
This radio is designed for and
classified as “Occupational Use
Only” meaning it must be used
only during the course of
employment by individuals aware
of the hazards and the ways to
minimize such hazards. This radio
is NOT intended for use by the
“General Population” in an
uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and
complies with the FCC RF exposure
limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In
addition, your Com-Net Ericsson radio
complies with the following Standards
and Guidelines with regard to RF
energy and electromagnetic energy
levels and evaluation of such levels
for exposure to humans:

is within the FCC
allowable limits for
occupational use,
always adhere to the
following guidelines:
DO NOT operate the radio
•
without a proper antenna
attached, as this may damage
the radio and may also cause you
to exceed FCC RF exposure
limits. A proper antenna is the
antenna supplied with this radio
by the manufacturer or an
antenna specifically authorized
by the manufacturer for use with
this radio.

DO NOT transmit for more than
•
50% of total radio use time (“50%
duty cycle”). Transmitting more
than 50% of the time can cause
FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when
the “TX” light appears in the
display. You can cause the radio
to transmit by pressing the “PTT”
button.
ALWAYS use Com-Net Ericsson
•
authorized accessories
(antennas, batteries, belt clips,
speaker/mics, etc). Use of
unauthorized accessories can
cause the FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be
exceeded.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at
•
least 1 cm (0.4 inches) away from
the body when transmitting to
ensure FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements are not
exceeded. To provide the
recipients of your transmission
the best sound quality, hold the
antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches)
from mouth, and slightly off to
one side.

The information listed above provides
the user with the information needed
to make him or her aware of a RF
exposure, and what to do to assure
that this radio operates within the
FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic
Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Com-Net
Ericsson radio generates RF energy
that can possibly cause interference
with other devices or systems. To
avoid such interference, turn off the
radio in areas where signs are posted
to do so. DO NOT operate the
transmitter in areas that are sensitive
to electromagnetic radiation such as
hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

SAFE PRACTICE
INFORMATION
The operator of any land mobile radio
should be aware of certain hazards
common to the operation of radio
transmitters.
possible hazards is given:
Explosive Atmospheres

with potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. These
may be fueling areas, such as
gas stations, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Turn OFF your radio when in
any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is
rare, but not impossible that
the radio or its accessories
could generate sparks.

Dynamite blasting caps may be
caused to explode by operating a
radio within 500 feet of the
blasting caps. Always obey the

being used.
When transporting blasting caps

not use a radio with a damaged
or missing antenna. A minor
burn may result if a damaged
antenna comes into contact with
the skin. Replace a damaged
antenna immediately. A missing
antenna could damage your
radio. Use only the supplied or
approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the
radio unit and may violate FCC
regulations.
Always turn off your portable
radio before boarding any
aircraft. Use it on the ground
only with crew permission. Do
not use it in the air.

OPERATING RULES AND
REGULATIONS
Two-way FM radio systems must be
operated in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the local, regional,
or national government.
In the United States, the P
300P portable radio must be operated
in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
As an operator of two-way radio
equipment, you must be thoroughly
familiar with the rules that apply to
your particular type of radio operation.
Following these rules helps eliminate
confusion, assures the most efficient
use of the existing radio channels,
and results in a smoothly functioning
radio network. When using your
two-way radio, remember these rules:
1. It is a violation of FCC rules to
interrupt any distress or
emergency message. As your
radio operates in much the same
way as a telephone
always listen to make sure that
the channel is clear before
transmitting. Emergency calls
have priority over all other
ANTHER

messages. If someone is sending
an emergency message - such
as reporting a fire or asking for
help in an accident -
THE AIR!
2. The use of profane or obscene
language is prohibited by Federal
law.
3. It is against the law to send false
call letters or false distress or
emergency messages. The FCC
requires that you keep
conversations brief and confine
them to business. To save time,
use coded messages whenever
possible.
4. Using your radio to send personal
messages (except in an
emergency) is a violation of FCC
rules. You may send only those
messages that are essential for
the operation of your business.
5. It is against Federal law to repeat
or otherwise make known
anything you overhear on your
radio. Conversations between
others sharing your channel must
be regarded as confidential.
