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.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Harris could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.

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

other use.

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users ov er a distan ce. It u ses RF en ergy or radio waves to sen d and
receive calls. RF energy is one form of electro magnetic energy. Other forms include, b ut 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 biol ogical 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 reco mmended RF exp osure levels includ e substantial margin s
of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured, and tested to
ensure they meet government estab lished RF exposur e levels. In addition , manufactu rers 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 compliance with established RF exposure limits.

2.1.1 Federal Comm unications Commission Regulations

Your Harris Unity 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 b e fully aware of and able to
control their exposure to meet occupation al requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the
use of a label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Harris Unity two-way radio has
an RF exposure product label. Also, your Unity Mobile Installation and Operator’s Manuals include
information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.

CAUTION

2.2 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS

Your Harris Unity mobile two-way radio is desi gned and tested to co mply 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.

Your Harris Unity mobile two-way radio complies with th e following RF energy exposur e standards and
guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§

2 sub-part J.

WARNING

3. OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 TRANSMITTER HAZARDS

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

• Explosive Atmospheres – Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehi cle 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 Electro nics Systems – Electronic fuel injection sy stems, electronic anti-

skid braking systems, electronic cruise con trol 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.

• Electric Blasting Caps – To prevent accidental detonatio n of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use

two-way radios within 1000 feet (305 meters) of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn off
Two-Way Radios” signs posted where electric blasting cap s are being used. (OSHA St andard: 192 6-

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 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 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.

regional, or national government.

In the United States, the Unity mobile r adi o must b e o per ated i n acco rdan ce wi th the r ules an d r egu latio ns
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 interru pt any distress or emergency messag e. 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 h ave 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 i s prohibited 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.

• Using your radio to send perso nal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of F CC 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 kno wn anything you overhear on your radio.

Conversations between others sharing your channel must be regarded as confidential.

• The FCC requires that you identi fy 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.

Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the jurisdiction of
the United States may be punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to
two (2) years, or both.

The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range of two-way radios 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.

Figure 6-3: No Channel Presets

6.9 NOISE CANCELLATION

The XG-100M features Harris’ proprietary noise suppression capability that provides clear and crisp
voice quality in high-noise environments in any mode, including analog and digital communications.

The XG-100M has two microphones; one located on the chorded microphone (Voice Microphone) and
one on the front of the control head (Noise Microphone). The Voice Microphone operates as the input
microphone for your voice. The Noise Microphone on the control head is used to pick up the surrounding
noise when noise cancellation is turned on. The control head should be mounted such that its Noise
Microphone element is unobstructed and exposed to the same ambient environment as your voice.

6.9.1 Enable Noise Cancellation

To enable noise cancellation:

1. From the main display, select the MAIN MENU.

Figure 6-4: Four Channel Presets

2. Select SETTINGS.

14221-1200-2010, Rev. E

to toggle noise cancellation

3. Select AUDIO SETTINGS.

4. Select NOISE CANCELLATION

ENABLED or DISABLED. The icon is displayed in the top of
the display when noise cancellation is enabled.

6.9.2 Using Noise Cancellation

When using the noise cancellation feature, observe the following:

• Verify the NOISE CANCELLATION setting is enabled (see Section 6.9.1).

• Talk within two (2) inches of the Voice Microphone.

• Speak clearly, loudly, and with authority.

• Ensure that both the Voice Microphone and the control head’s Noise Microphone are not covered or

obstructed.

• In very noisy environments, it is okay to yell into the radio. The radio can handle very loud input

levels.

6.9.3 The Effect of Distance from the Microphone

Unlike a normal microphone system, noise can cellati on makes the level o f yo ur voice d iminish quickly as
you move the Voice Microphone away from your mouth. In essence, the radio starts to see your voice as
surrounding noise. Whereas you may be comfortable speaking up to a foot away from the Voice
Microphone on a normal radio, noise cancellation requires that you keep the Voice Microphone close to
your mouth. It is recommended that you hold the Voice Microphone within 2” of your mouth when
speaking.

6.9.4 Voice Mi crophone and Control Head Microphone Locations

The Voice Microphone is located on the front of the mic as shown in Figure 6-6. The Noise Microphone
on the control head is located on the left of the control head between the volume and channel knobs
(Figure 6-5). Every effort should be made to not obstruct either element during radio transmissions.

6.10 TURN ENCRYPTION ON OR OFF

Select MAIN MENU  SECURITY  ENCRYPTION to toggle encryption on and off.

Or

1. Select SHORTCUTS from the main display.

2. Select ENCRYPTION to toggle encryption on and off.

• A key appears on the display when encryption is enabled. The channel must also be programmed

to be encrypted.

• When encryption is turned on and you use any channel not configured for encryption, the radio

allows PTT. The signal is transmitted unencrypted.

• Channels configured for Global Encryption display a Global Encryption icon instead of key icon

(Section 7.1.4) if Global Encryption is enabled.

• Radios configured with Encryption Mode Forced On will have the Encryption menu item grayed

out with the state always ENABLED.

The radio can be programmed to allo w emergency calls to be transmit ted in the clear when the radio does
not have the key, or has an invalid key for the encrypted group in emergency.

If the Talkaround Indication feature is enabled in RPM, the radio will play a unique grant tone when a call
is placed on a simplex channel or when Talkaround has been enabled on a duplex channel. This feature
applies to both Analog and P25 Conventional systems. It optionally allows the radio to also play the
same tone when it receives a call while operating in simplex or Talkaround. If configured, the radio

plays the tone at the selected volume level.

The tone will not play on systems configured for MDC or Type 99.

Talkaround Indication can be specified for each individual Analog and P25 Conventional system
configured in personality. The following options can be selected, and apply only when the radio is on a
simplex channel or when Talkaround has been enabled by the user:

• Disabled: (This is the default option.) When this option is selected, the rad io plays the standard grant

tone when a call is placed. The radio does not play a tone when a call is received.

• Transmit Only: When this optio n is selected, the radio plays a different “Talkaround” grant tone when

6.26 MDC-1200 (CONVENTIONAL ONLY)

MDC-1200 is a legacy in-band signaling protocol that provides the radio with the ability to transmit and
receive a unique PTT ID. This PTT ID can be decoded by receiving radios and displayed as a
hexadecimal number or an alias string. In addition, MDC-1200 provides radios with the ability to transmit
emergency status to a console.

Refer to the MDC-1200 Feature Manual, 14221-7200-6000, for complete instructions on configuring and
using this feature.

If MDC signaling on PTT press is en abled in RPM, the radio transmits an MDC PTT ID message when
PTT is pressed. If the Sidetone option is enabled in RPM, the radio plays a Ready-to-Talk (RTT) tone
after the MDC pre-signaling has been transmitted.

37

14221-1200-2010, Rev. E

The options available depend on radio

programming.

NOTE

If MDC signaling on PTT release is en abled (in RPM), the radio transmits post-call MDC signaling when
PTT is released.

• IF STE is enabled (in RPM), the MDC post-call signaling is transmitted after STE is sent.

• MDC post-call signaling is also sent when there is a radio unkey due to Carrier Control Timeout

(CCT). Normal CCT alert tones occur prior to unkey.

These procedures are used to set up the scan list , home channels, and priority channels. Refer to 6.18.

1. From the main display, select MAIN MENU.

2. Select SCAN.

3. Refer to the information in Sections 7.8.1 through 7.8.5.

When using Preemptive Priority Scan, the frequencies in the list need to be unique.

7.8.1 Home, Pri or ity 1, and Priority 2 Channels

7.8.1.1 Home Channel

This is the channel you transmit on by default when you press PTT while the radio is actively scanning
and is not responding to a just received call. Responding to a call the radio just received while scanning is
called hang time. If hang time is set to 0 in RPM, the radio always transmits on the home channel in scan.

7.8.1.2 Priority 1 Channel

This channel will be scanned more often than oth er channels in the list and will be scanned in between
every other channel in the scan list. An ex ample scan sequence wou ld be P1 (priority 1), C2, P1, C3, P1,
C4, etc. Also, the priority channel will be scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority
channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P1, the radio will
drop C3 and switch to P1.

58

14221-1200-2010, Rev. E

NOTE

NOTE

7.8.1.3 Priority 2 Channel

This channel will also be scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence would be P1, C2,
P1, C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9 etc. Also, this channel will be scanned ev en while
actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and
activity is detected on P2, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P2. Additionally, activity on P1 preempts
P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1.

7.8.2 Trunked/Conventional Scanning

Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25 conventional
channels while still maintaining P25 trunked radio operation. In essence, the radio is able to scan a
conventional scan list while still receivi n g a P2 5 t runked control channel and receiving P25 trunked calls.
Selection of which conventional scan list is associated with a given trunked system is done in RPM and
cannot be changed on the radio. However, a user with sufficient UI privilege level (see Section 0) is
allowed to edit the scan list members (both trunked groups and conventional channels on the selected
Conventional Priority System). As the number of conventional channels being scanned increases, the
time between scanning each channel increases (roughly 250 milliseconds per channel), with the
consequent increase in the number of calls that will late-enter. In order to avoid missing calls, it is
recommended to keep the number of conventional channels being scanned to eight (8) or fewer.

The trunking site must have roaming set to Enhanced CC.

7.8.3 Vote Scan (Analog and P25 Conventional Only)

If Vote Scan is enabled via RPM, the radio automatically selects the strongest signal ensuring that the best
audio quality is delivered to the user. If Vote Scan is enabled, the radio is alway s scanning. You cannot
stop scanning, start normal scanning, or monitor the channel. There is an icon in the upper status bar
indicating that the radio is Vote Scanning.

If Talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is turned off.

7.9.3 Radio TextLink (P25 Trunked Only)

Radio TextLink provides short text messaging functionality for radios. Because of the difficulty of
entering text messages on a radio, p redefined "canned" messages and predefined replies can be stored in
the radio. To facilitate sending messages where information must be provid ed at send time, text messag e
forms will also be stored in the radio. A form contains up to four (4) text prompts, for which the operator
enters alphanumeric values before sending the message.

7.11 OTAP

Radios with R3A and later software support Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP) via ProFile Manager.
RPM creates, modifies and stores perso nality informatio n while ProFile Manag er delivers the p ersonality
over the network to the desired radios. ProFile Manager also contains the ability to read personality
information over-the-air and save the files, so that RPM can modify the information if necessary.

Interrupt the programming process, if necessary, by depressing the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button or
declaring an emergency. Once a radio personality update is successfully completed, the radio
automatically resets itself, switches to the new personality, and returns to normal operation.

For more information on using ProFile Manager, refer to software release notes AE/LZT 123 3263/1.

7.12 PPP/SLIP

The radio can be configured to act as a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT). An M DT is essentially a portable
computer capable of transmitting data messages vi a an RF communications link. Refer to Appendix A for
instructions on how to setup PPP and SLIP connections between the radio and a Mo bile Data Peripheral
(MDP).

1. INVALID KEYSTORE ZEROIZE NEEDED:

This occurs if the radio’s keys were loaded by the Harris Key Loader followed by an attempt to load
UKEKs with the Key Loader or keys with the Motorola KVL. Fix by performing workaround 1,
followed by 2.

Use RPM to ensure plan validity.

- Fix by performing workaround 2.

3. Zeroize Complete – KMF has zeroized the radio.

- Fix by performing workaround 2.

4. Gray OTAR Icon (no red slash) – OTAR has not registered with tower (Conventional or Trunked

system).

- Fix by verifying proper frequencies.

- If the radio is turned to the OTAR channel out of range of a conventional tower, and then comes

in range after 3 minutes, fix by issuing an OTAR. Rekey, leaving and re-enter the OTAR channel.

5. Green OTAR Icon – OTAR is registered, all is well.

- If update fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.

6. Blue OTAR Icon – OTAR is attempting to rekey.

- If rekey fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.

APPENDIX A - PPP/SLIP CONNECTION

A.1 OVERALL CONFIGURATION

This appendix describes how to setup PPP and SLIP connections between a Un ity mobile radio acting as
a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) and a Mobile Data Peripheral (MDP). The MDP in Figure A-1 is a
Windows XP machine. This example is used throughout the configuration, but is only intended as a
guide. It is important to realize that all IP addresses are site/co nfiguration specific. Prior to configu ring
the MDT or the MDP, the system administrator sh ould provide configuration specifics.

Figure A-1: Example of PPP/SLIP Configuration

• MDP PPP IP Address – There are two types of co nfiguration for the M DP’s IP address, d ynamically

assigned by PPP or statically assigned withi n the MDP’s PPP configuration settings:
 Dynamic via PPP (shown in Figure A-1) - When using PPP’s dy namic IP add ress assig nment, the

radio will assign its own RF IP address to the MDP. Outbound IP data from the site will be
processed by the radio if the port matches the ports within the radio’s services (Radio Textlink,
OTAR, OTAP, etc.). All other outbound IP data from the site is forwarded to the MDP. Inbound
IP data from the MDP will be process ed by the radio if the MDP uses t he radio ’s PPP IP address;
otherwise, it will be forwarded to the site.

 Static – The MDP software allows the configuration of a static IP address to the MDP. While this

provides more configurability, routing of traffic to the MDP from the site must be configured
within the site’s routers.

• Unity MDT’s PPP IP – This is typically a no nce IP address (shown in Figure A-1) to allow the MDP

to address the radio explicitly (i.e., ping).

• Unity MDT’s RF IP – This IP address is how the site addresses the radio and must match

configuration at the site.

Other IP addresses in the figure above are beyond the scope of this configuration document and are
provided for the purpose of the configuration example only.

1. Use RPM to configure Unity MDT services, PPP IP address, and RF IP address.

2. Within Data Options  Data Interfaces tab, enable MDT and configure the MDT’s PPP address:

3. Within the Data Options, Data Transport tab, configure the MDT’s RF IP

.

If the MDP will be configured to have the radio provide the IP address (dynamic PPP IP address assignment), it is important

to set the RF IP Address even if the site will dynamically assign it. Otherwise, the radio will fail PPP negotiation until the
radio has registered with the site.
