1 REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 SAFETY SYMBOL CONVENTIONS
The following conventions are used throughout this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions
that must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply
with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the product. Harris Corporation assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these standards.
The WARNING symbol calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which,
if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not
proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully
understood or met.
The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like,
which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the
CAUTION
equipment or severely degrade equipment performance.
The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve
system performance or clarify a process or procedure.
The ESD symbol calls attention to procedures, practices, or the like, which could
expose equipment to the effects of Electro-Static Discharge. Proper precautions must be
taken to prevent ESD when handling circuit boards or modules.
The electrical hazard symbol is a WARNING indicating there may be an electrical
shock hazard present.
1.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
5
MM-015039-001, Rev. A
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. Warning: The lightning bolt signifies an alert to the user of the presence of un-insulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of significant magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
15. Warning: The exclamation point alerts the user to the presence of important operation and
maintenance (service) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
16. Outdoor Use Warning: To reduce the risk of Fire or Electric Shock, Do Not Expose This Apparatus to
Rain or Moisture.
17. Wet Location Warning: Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

MM-015039-001, Rev. A
1.3 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS
DO NOT TRANSMIT with this base station and antenna when persons are within the MAXIMUM
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Radius of the antenna. 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 all persons within the MPE radius to
experience RF radiation absorption, which exceeds the FCC maximum permissible
exposure (MPE) limit. It is the responsibility of the base station operator to ensure
that the maximum permissible exposure limits are observed at all times during
base station transmission. The base station licensee is to ensure that no bystanders
are within the radius limits.
1.4 DETERMINING MPE RADIUS
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE RADIUS is unique for each site and is determined
during site licensing time based on the complete installation environment (i.e. co-location, antenna type,
transmit power level, etc.). Determination of the MPE distance is the responsibility of the installation
licensee. Calculation of the MPE radius is required as part of the site licensing procedure with the FCC.
1.5 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your MASTR®V base station generates RF electromagnetic energy during
transmit mode. This base station is designed for and classified as “occupational
use only” meaning it must be used only in the course of employment by individuals
aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This base station is
not intended for use by the “general population” in an uncontrolled environment.
It is the responsibility of the base station licensee to ensure that the maximum
permissible exposure limits determined in the previous section are observed at all
times during transmission. The base station licensee is to ensure that no
bystanders come within the radius of the maximum permissible exposure limits.
When licensed by the FCC, this base station complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are
beyond the MPE radius of the antenna. In addition, your Harris base station installation 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.
7
MM-015039-001, Rev. A
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC
allowable limits for occupational use, do not operate the base station in a manner that
would create an MPE distance in excess of that allowable by the FCC.
CAUTION
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Any changes or
modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Harris Corporation may
cause harmful interference and could void the user’s authority to operate the
CAUTION
equipment.

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
