RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS, CONTROL
INFORMATION, AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE USING YOUR MOBILE TWO-WAY RADIO, READ THIS
IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC’S RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled
conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can
exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio
device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other
use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a
distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF
energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are
not limited to, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however,
should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy,
which, when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels
of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These
standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and
the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North
America are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet
government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manuf acturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These
instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy
exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to
the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is
and how to control your exposure to assure co mpliance with established RF
exposure limits.

OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
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 – 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.
• Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems – Electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise
control systems, etc., are typical electronic systems that can 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.
• Dynamite Blasting Caps – Dynamite blasting caps can 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:
Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft lining.
Leave the radio OFF whenever the blasting caps are being put i nto o r
removed from the vehicle.
8
• 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:
The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal
from the space containing the LP gas container and its fittings.
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
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 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.

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 M7100
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:
• 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
“party line,” always listen to make sure that the channel is clear before
transmitting. Emergency calls have priority over all other messages. If
someone is sending an emergency message – such as reporting a fire or
asking for help in an accident – KEEP OFF THE AIR!
• The use of profane or obscene language is prohibit e d by Federal law.
• 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.
IP
Series mobile radio must be operated in
• 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.
• 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 the 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 electronics technician.

United States may be punishable by a fine of up
to $10,000, imprisonment for up to two (2)
years, or both.
OPERATING TIPS
The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range of two-way radio s
and should be avoided whenever possible:
• Operating the radio in areas of low terrain, or while under power lines or
bridges
• Obstructions such as mountains and buildings
• In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement can
be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a
higher elevation.

M7100
FM radio providing reliable two-way communications in both th e Enhanced
Digital Access Communications System (EDACS
and conventional communication systems.
In the EDACS or trunked system mode, the user selects a communications
system and group. In this mode, channel selection is transparent to the user
and is controlled via digital communication with the system controller. Th is
provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication
channels.
In the conventional mode, the user selects a channel and directly
communicates on that channel. In this mode, a system refers to a set of
channels. A channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair.
The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the
radio's programming and the particular radio system. Most features described
in this manual can be enabled or disabled through programming. Consult the
