Improvements and changes to this manual necessitated by typographical errors, inaccuracies of current information, or improvements to programs and/or equipment, may be made by Com-Net Ericsson Critical Radio Systems, Inc., at any time and without notice. Such changes will be incorporated into new editions of this manual.

MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMITS RADIO OPERATOR WARNING Do not transmit with this radio and antenna when persons are within the

MPE Radius of the antenna, unless such persons (vehicle occupants or bystanders, for example) are shielded from the antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier (such as the user’s vehicle rooftop). The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by the FCC.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIM IT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE

EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS SHOWN BELOW.

Determining MPE Radius THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE RADIUS HAS BEEN

ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 55 INCHES (OR 138 CM ) FOR THE VEHICULAR MOUNTED ANTENN A SYSTEMS, AND 77 INCHES (OR 195 CM) FOR BASE STATION MOUNTED ANTENNA SYSTEMS PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC. THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE USING THE MAXIMUM CAPABLE POWER OF THE RADIO, ANTENNAS WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 3 dB d (FOR VEHICUL AR MO UNTED SYST EMS) OR 6 dBd (FOR BASE STATION SYSTEMS), AND A MAXIMUM 50% TRANSMIT DUTY CYCLE (DUE TO THE PUSH-TO-TALK STATUS OF THIS MOB I L E).

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

YOUR COM-NET ERICSSON P

ANTHER

300M MOBILE RADIO GENER ATES RF ELECTROM AGNETIC ENERG Y DURING TRANSMIT MODE. THIS RADIO IS DESIGN ED 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. IT IS THE RESPONS IBILITY OF THE RADIO OPER ATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS DETERMINED IN THE PREVIOUS SECTION ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.

This radio has been examined and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are beyond the MPE radius of the antenna. 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:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating

Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for

Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure 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.

TO ENSURE THAT YOUR EXPOSURE TO RF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY IS WITHIN THE FCC ALLOWABLE LIMITS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE, ALWAYS ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

CAUTION

• 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 for installation on a vehicle has a maximum gain of 3 dBd. A proper antenna for installation on a rooftop or tower in a desktop base station setup has a maximum gain of 6 dBd.

Transmitter Hazards

The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio transmitters. A list of several possible hazards is given:

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 vehicle. Do not carry containers of fuel in the trunk of a vehicle if the radio is mounted in the trunk.

Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. 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.

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 malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer and enlist 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 caps 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 National Fire Protection Association standard (NFPA) 58 requiring: a. The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated 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 shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.

SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS

(Recommended By AAA)

• Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio.

• Keep both hands on the steering wheel 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 unavoidable, drive in the slower

lane. Keep conversations brief.

• If a conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the

vehicle in a safe place and continue the call.

• Whenever using a mobile radio, exercise caution.
