is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,”
meaning it must be used only during the course of
WARNING
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits
for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your M/A-COM radio complies
with the following Standards an d 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

employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the
ways t o minimize such hazards. This radio is not intended
for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled
environment.
AGUAR
™ 725M Mobile Radio generates
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 is the antenna supplied with this
radio by M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by M/ACOM for use with this radio.
4
•
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” LED in the radio display is lit. You can
cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT button on the
microphone.
•
ALWAYS use M/A-COM 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 20 cm (8 inches) between the antenna and
operator/bystanders while transmitting. This radio has been tested and
found compliant with Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits for
uncontrolled exposure at a distance of 20 cm (8 inches) or more using a
50% duty cycle.
The information listed above is provided to make the user 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.
A list of several possible hazards is given:
WARNING
Explosive Atmospheres –
•
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.
Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems –
•
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
Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with
Electronic fuel
5
present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment,
consult the dealer and enlist their aid in determining the expected
performance of electronic circu its when the radio is transmitting.
•
Dynamite Blasting Caps –
Dynamite blasting caps may 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:
¾
Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft lining.
¾
Leave the radio
whenever the blasting caps are being put into
OFF
or removed from the vehicle.
•
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
A
ssociation standard
¾
The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a
NFPA 58
requiring:
seal from the space containing the LP gas container and its fittings.
¾
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
¾
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 opera tion 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 the 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.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The motorcycle may be equipped with additional lights, light flashers,
sirens, PA systems, etc. Therefore, consideration must be given to the total
system current drain. It is recommended that the radios be set to not exceed
the applicable rated RF power output and current drain shown in Table 1 for
AGUAR
all J
725M motorcycle applications.
Do NOT
use a J
725M mobile radio with power
AGUAR
exceeding the power limits shown in Table 1 for motorcycle
applications. To do so will result in damage to the
CAUTION
motorcycle alternator, battery, and all circuits. Also, the
possibility of interference is increased if the proper RF
power level is not used. As a final note, RF power may not
be set to exceed the maximum regulatory RF power
specified by that country’s regulatory agency.
RF Power Adjustments
For factory installed options the maximum RF power levels are factory
preset and should only require verification in the field. See Table 1.
For field installed options, the RF power of previously purchased J
AGUAR
725M mobile radios in the field must be appropriately set via modification
of the maximum RF power tracking data fields. The left column is set for
rated power (example: 250 for 25.0 watts). The tracking data numbers are
adjusted to produce RF power as specified in the actual “J
AGUAR
725M
Motorcycle Radio RF Power” column in Table 1.
High power J
725M mobile radios

CANNOT
be
used in motorcycle applications. The RF power cannot be
turned down sufficiently to meet regulatory specifications.
NOTE

RF Power Tracking Data for Resetting in the Field
800 MHz Band:
•
6-12 watts, low power J
AGUAR
725M: no resetting of RF power
tracking data is needed.
•
17.5-35 watts, high power J
AGUAR
725M (repeater input band 806-825
MHz): RF power tracking data is reset as follows:
1. The RF Power tracking data shown in the “350” row under the “TX
Power Levels” columns must be adjusted down to 27 ± 0.5 watts.
This same tracking data should be copied into the “300” row under
the “TX Power Levels” columns.
2. This will set the upper limit of the 800 MHz mobile in the repeater
input band to a rated RF power of 25 watts (with an actual RF
power setting level of 27 ± 0.5 watts).
The 800 MHz RF power tracking data settings are listed in MM101260V1
under the sections for TRACKING DATA, TEST FREQUENCIES, &
SETTING TRACKING DATA. Tracking data frequencies are listed in
Table 2 in the TX RPT INPUT column.
•
15-30 watts, high power J
AGUAR
725M (repeater talkaround band 851-
870 MHz): RF power tracking data is reset as follows:
1. The RF Power tracking data shown in the “30” row under the “TA
TX Power Levels” columns must be adjusted down to 27 ± 0.5
watts. This same tracking data should be copied into the “35” row
under the “TA TX Power Levels” columns.
2. Change the “30” & “35” row labels to “25”.
3. This will set the upper limit of the 800 MHz mobile in the repeater
talkaround band to a rated RF power of 25 watts (with an actual RF
power setting level of 27 ± 0.5 watts).
The 800 MHz RF power tracking data settings are listed in MM101260V1
under the sections for TRACKING DATA, TEST FREQUENCIES, &
SETTING TRACKING DATA. Tracking data frequencies are listed in
Table 2 in the TX TALK AROUND column.
