population, consumer, or any other use.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Harris could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
1. REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 SAFETY SYMBOL CONVENTIONS
The following conventions are used in 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® assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with
these standards.
1.2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Before using the mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and control
information to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
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
7
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B
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 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
exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
http://www.osha.gov./SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
1.2.1 Federal Communications Commission Regulations
Before it was marketed in the United States, the Unity® mobile Low Band P Power Amplifier (LPA) was
tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile two-way radios. When twoway 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. The radio has an RF exposure
product label. Also, this Installation, the Product Safety Manual, and the applicable Operator’s Manual
include information and operating instructions required to control RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.
1.3 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
The UnityXG-100 LPA mobile Low Band Power Amplifier System is designed and tested to comply with
a number of national and international standards and guidelines 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-cycle times of up to 50% (50% transmit, 50%
receive) for the Unity mobile radio equipment, and up to 100% for the LBPA radio equipment. The radio
equipment is authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for
compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, the radio’s antenna radiates measurable RF energy only
while it is transmitting (talking), not when it is receiving (listening), or in standby mode.
The Unity mobile low band VHF amplifier complies with the following RF energy exposure standards
and guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47
CFR § 2 sub-part J.

Table 1-1 lists the recommended minimum safe lateral distances for a controlled
environment and for unaware bystanders in an uncontrolled environment, from
transmitting antennas (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles). Table 1-1 has
the distances for the LBPA on a per antenna basis. This data is based upon the mobile
radio installed in a motor vehicle with the radio transmitting at its rated RF power
level. Transmit only when unaware bystanders are at least the uncontrolled
recommended minimum safe lateral distance away from the mobile radio’s transmitting
antenna.

14221-1200-4010, Rev. B
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the
operation of vehicular radio transmissions. Possible hazards include but are not
limited to:
1.6 COMMON HAZARDS
Explosive Atmospheres — Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with its engine running, be sure to
turn the radio OFF while fuelling the vehicle. If the radio is mounted in the trunk of the vehicle, DO
NOT carry fuel containers in the trunk.
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Turn the radio
OFF 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 Electronic Systems — Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-
skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of electronic
devices that can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency (RF) energy present
when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle
and enlist the dealer’s aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally 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 (305 meters) of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn Off
Two-Way Radios” (or equivalent) signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used (OSHA
Standard: 1926.900).
Radio Frequency Energy — To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency
energy, do not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the vehicle is within the minimum safe
distance from the antenna as specified in Table 1-1 (as applicable). Refer to Section 1.2 for additional
information.
Vehicles Powered By Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas — Radio installation in vehicles powered by
liquefied petroleum gas, where the LP gas container is located 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. This requires:
The space containing the radio equipment must be isolated and sealed from the space containing
LP gas containers and their fittings.
Outside filling connections must be used for the LP gas container.
The LP gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
Vehicles Equipped with Airbags — For driver and passenger safety, avoid mounting the radio’s
control head (or any other component) above or near airbag deployment areas. In addition to driverside and passenger-side front-impact airbags, some vehicles may also be equipped with side-impact
airbags. For occupant safety, verify the location of all airbags within the vehicle before installing the
radio equipment.

14221-1200-4010, Rev. B
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.
1.7 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
The American Automobile Association (AAA) advocates the following key safe driving recommendations:
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.
1.8 OPERATING RULES REGULATIONS
Two-way radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local,
regional, or national government.
In the United States, this Unity mobile low band VHF amplifier must be operated in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Operators of two-way radio
equipment must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to the 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 a two-way radio, remember these rules:
It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. The radio operates in
much the same way as a telephone “party line.” Therefore, always listen to make sure 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, do not
transmit unless assistance can be offered.
The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.
It is against the law to send false call letters or false distress or emergency messages. The FCC
requires keeping conversations brief and confined to business. Use coded messages whenever
possible to save on-the-air time.
Using the radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send
only essential messages.
It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio.
Conversations between others sharing the channel must be regarded as confidential.
12
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, communication improvement may
sometimes be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction, or moving to a higher
elevation.
NOTE
The FCC requires self-identification at certain specific times by means of call letters. Refer to the
rules that apply to the 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.
1.9 OPERATING TIPS
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.

3.4 OPERATING POWER
The XG-100M Unity mobile radio with its companion XG-100LPA VHF Low Band Power Amplifier is
powered by an external +13.6-volt (nominal) DC power source. In mobile applications, the motor
vehicle’s electrical system is used as the source of DC power. The Unity mobile radio and its companion
XG-100LPA are separately fused. For detailed specifications, see Section 2 of this manual which begins
on page 14.
The control head(s) connected to the radio is powered by the same DC power source, but fused separately
from the XG-100M and XG-100LPA. When the control head is powered-up by the operator, it “wakes
up” the MRU radio by transmitting data to the radio over the CAN link.
3.5 RADIO PROGRAMMING
Unless otherwise stated, all radio installation and test procedures presented in this manual assume the
radio has been programmed by radio network administration personnel before it is delivered to radio
installation personnel. Programming instructions are beyond the scope of this manual.
The Radio Personality Manager (RPM) software application TQS3385 (part number SK-104768-001) is
used to program the XG-100M/XG-100LPA for VHF Low Band conventional operation. RPM can also
be used to flash program new operating software (i.e., firmware) into an XG-100M mobile radio. Refer to
the radio’s maintenance manual for additional information.
For additional RPM information, refer to its built-in online help and/or RPM Software Release Notes,
publication number MS-012550-001(TQS3385).
An XG-100M radio with a CH-100 control head can use a TIA/EIA/RS-232C serial cable connection, a
USB serial cable connection, or a Bluetooth wireless connection for programming operations. The
TIA/EIA/RS-232C serial cable connects to the 9-pin D-subminiature (DB-9) connector on the rear of the
radio. For USB and Bluetooth links, the CH-100 control head provides the connection path.
18
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B
A USB or a Bluetooth link is the preferred connection method for an XG-100M radio with a
CH-100 control head. These links support programming of up to ten (10) personalities/mission
plans into the radio. Only one personality/mission plan is active at a time.
An XG-100M radio with a CH-721 control head can only have one (1) personality/mission
plan. It is always active.
A personality/mission plan loaded into the radio via a TIA/EIA/RS-232C serial link cannot be
extracted (read back) via a USB or Bluetooth link.
NOTE
An XG-100M radio with a CH-721 control head must use a TIA/EIA/RS-232C serial cable connection for
programming. The serial cable connects to the 9-pin D-subminiature (DB-9) connector on the rear of the
radio.
Personality for the VHF Low Band power output is setup in RPM by selecting the Sets->Conventional
Frequency Set controls and select the Conventional Frequency Set tab. In the Channel Options
