2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION
2.1 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by M/ACOM, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the
CAUTION
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, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These
equipment.

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 compliance with established RF
exposure limits.
2.1.1 Federal Communications Commission
Regulations
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested
to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile two-way radios
before it can be marketed in the United States. When two-way radios are
used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully
aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational
requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label
directing users to specific user awareness information. Your M/A-COM, Inc.
IP
M7100
M7100
two-way radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, your
IP
Installation and Operator’s Manuals include information and
operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy
compliance requirements.
2.2 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE
STANDARDS
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested
to comply with a number of national and international standards and
guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty factors of up to
50% talk-50% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In
terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure
guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is
transmitting (talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.

Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992.

3 OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 TRANSMITTER HAZARDS
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of
certain hazards common to the operation of 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 the motorcycle. Do not
transport containers of fuel.
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 may malfunction
due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy present when
transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, cons ult the dealer
and enlist their aid in determining the expected performance of electronic
circuits when the radio is transmitting.
• Electric Blasting Caps – To prevent accidental detonation of electric
blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting
operations. Always obey the “Turn Off Two-Way Radios” signs posted
where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard: 1926-900)
• 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.

3.2 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
(Recommended by AAA)
• Read the literature on the safe op eration of the radio.
• Use both hands to steer and keep 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.
This manual contains instructions for installing the M7100IP mobile radio,
IP
M7100
instructions in this manual are typical installation instructions, and are not
intended to cover all makes and models of motorcycles.
Final installation of the radio equipment is left to the discretion of the radio
installer.
To simplify installation and minimize difficulties, it is suggested that the
installer read the entire manual prior to installation. Figure 3-1 shows a
typical motorcycle installation.
