SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Com-Net Eric sson P
ANTHER
300M VHF Mobile
Radio generates RF elec tromagnetic energy during
transmit mode. This radio is designed for and
classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it
must be used only during t he cours e of em ployment
by individuals a ware of the h azards a nd the wa ys to
WARNING
minimize such ha zards. This radio is not intended
for use by the “General Population” in an
uncontrolled enviro nment.
This radio has been tes ted and com plies with the F CC RF exposure
limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your Com-Net
Ericsson radio com plies with the f ollowing Standards and G uidel ines
with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and
evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
•
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC G uidelines for Hum an Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE
Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Expos ure to
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
3
To ensure that your exp os ur e to RF electrom agnetic
energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational use, always adhere to the following
CAUTION
•
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached,
guidelines:
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 Com-Net Ericsson or an
antenna specifically authorized by Com-Net Ericsson for use
with this radio.
•
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50%
duty cycle). Transm itting more than 50% of the time can cause
FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the “TX” LED in the ra dio displ ay
is lit. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PT T
button.
•
ALWAYS use Com-Net Ericsson authorized accessories
(antennas, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized
accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled
Exposure RF compliance to be exceeded.
•
ALWAYS keep at least 25 cm (10 inches ) between the antenna
and operator/bystanders while trans mitting . This r adio has bee n
tested and found compliant with SAR limits for uncontrolled
exposure at a distance of 25 cm (10 inches) or more using a
50% duty cycle.
The information listed abo ve is provided to make the us er aware of
an RF exposure and what to do to assure that this radio operates
within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Transmitter Hazards
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of
certain hazards common to the operation of
vehicular radio transmitters.
WARNING
possible hazards is given:
A list of several
1. Explosive Atmospheres
- Just as it is dangerous to fuel a
vehicle with the motor running, similar hazards exist when
operating a mobile radio. Be sure to turn the radio off while
fueling a vehicl e. Do not c arry cont ainers of fuel in th e trunk of a
vehicle if the radio is mounted in the trunk.
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere a re often, but
not always, clearly marked. Turn OFF your radio when in
any area with a potent ially explosive atmosphere. It is rare,
but not impossible that the radio or its accessories could
generate sparks.
2. Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems
- Electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems,
electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical electronic
systems that may malf unction due to the lack of protection from
radio frequency energy presen t when transmitting. If the veh icle
contains such equipm ent, consult the dealer and enlis t their aid
in determining the expected performance of electronic circuits
when the radio is transmitting.
3. Dynamite Blasting Caps
- Dynamite blasting caps may be
caused to explode by operating a radio within 500 feet of the
blasting caps. Always obey the
"Turn Off Two-Way Radios"
signs posted where dynamite is being used.
When transporting blasting caps in your vehicle:
a.
Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft
lining.
b.
Leave the radio
OFF
whenever the blasting ca ps are being
put into or removed from the vehicle.
4. Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles
- Mobile
radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum
gas with the LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off
space within the interior of the vehicle must conform to the
N
ational Fire Protection Association standard
(NFPA) 58
requiring:
5
a.
The space containing the radio equipment shall be is olated
by a seal from the space containing the LP gas container
and its fittings.
b.
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas
container.
c.
The LP gas container s hall be vented to the o utside of the
vehicle.
SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
(Recommended By AAA)
•
Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio.
•
Kee p both hands on the steering wh eel and the microphone in
its hanger whenever the vehicle is in motion.
•
Place calls only when vehicle is stopped.
•
When talking from a moving vehicle is u navoidable, drive in the
slower lane. Keep conversations brief.
•
If a conversation requires tak ing notes or com plex thought, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and continue the call.
•
Whenever using a mobile radio, exercise caution.

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
operated in accordance with the r ules and r egulatio ns of the Fe deral
Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of two-way
radio equipment, you must be t horoughly familiar with the rules that
apply to your particu lar t ype of radio o perat ion. F ollo wing t hese ru les
helps eliminate confusion, assures the most efficient use of the
existing radio ch annels, and results in a sm oothly functioning radi o
network.
When using your two-way radio, remember these rules:
•
It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or
emergency message. As your radio operat es in much the sam e
way as a telephone
the channel is clear before transmitting. Emergency calls have
priority over all other messages. If someone is sending an
emergency message - such as re porting a fire or ask ing for help
in an accident - KEEP OFF THE AIR!
•
The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal
law.
•
It is against the law to send fals e call letters or false distress or
emergency messages. The FCC requires that you keep
conversations brief and confin e them to business . To s ave tim e,
use coded messages whenever possible.
•
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.
ANTHER
"party line"
300M mobile radio must be
, always listen to m ak e sur e that
•
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.
•
The FCC requires that you identify yourself at certain specific
times by means of your call letters. Refer to th e rules that apply
to your particular type of operation for the proper procedure.
•
No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment
except by an authorized or certified electronic technician.

IMPORTANT
Under U.S. law, operation of an unlic ensed rad io transm itter with in
the jurisdiction of the Un ited States may be pu nishabl e b y a fin e of
up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to two years, or both.
OPERATING TIPS
The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range of twoway radios and should be avoided whenever possible:
•
Operating the ra dio in areas of low terrain , or while u nder power
lines or bridges.
•
Obstructions such as mountains and buildings.
•
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some
improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the antenna is
vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or m oving to a
higher elevation may also improve communication.
