RF Radiation Prole
Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation in the range at which radio signals are transmitted. RF technology is widely used in communication, medicine, food processing and
other elds. It may generate radiation during use.
RF Radiation Safety
In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant industries including science, engineering, medicine and health work with international organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF radiation. These standards consist of:
● United States Federal Communications
Commission, Code of Federal Regulations;
47CFR part 2 sub-part J;
● American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992;

Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled environment RF
energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following procedures: Your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
FCC Statement

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:
● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

Signaling Introduction

The radio supports the following signaling. You can ask your dealer to make appropriate settings on your radio. For detailed information, please consult your dealer.
HDC1200
The HDC1200 signaling is compatible with the MDC1200 signaling, and realizes functions such as PTT ID (Encoding & Decoding), Emergency (Encoding & Decoding) and Selective Call (Encoding & Decoding).
Encoding:
1. Hold the PTT key during normal voice communication to send PTT ID.
2. Go to the menu “Contact List” and select a required contact. Then hold the PTT key to send a selective call (Private Call/Group Call/All Call).
For encoding, the radio will provide the following indications:
PTT ID/Selective Call: Your dealer can program

whether the radio sounds side tone during encoding or beeps after encoding. Selective Call: During encoding, the LED glows

red, and the LCD displays the appropriate call
icon (Private Call: ; Group Call: ; All Call: ). After encoding, the LED glows
orange.
Decoding:
For decoding, the radio provides the following indications:
PTT ID: After decoding, the LCD displays the icon

and ID or alias of the transmitting party.
Selective Call: After decoding, the radio provides

the following indications:
»Tone: The radio will give the tone by default. »LED: The LED glows green.
»If your dealer enables the Display Decode ID
feature, the radio will display the appropriate
call icon (Private Call: ; Group Call: ; All Call: ) and alias of the transmitting
party (ID of the transmitting party will be displayed if it is not in the contact list). If your dealer does not enable the Display Decode ID feature, the radio will display the appropriate call icon only.

5-Tone

This radio can realize various types of calls through
5-Tone signaling.
Encoding:
1. Request your dealer to configure the correct format and type for the encoding contents.
When the format consists of xed codes only, you
do not have to edit such elds or save such data.
3. Press the PTT key or the programmed One Touch Call 1 – One Touch Call 5 keys to send
the 5-Tone signaling.
During encoding, the radio sounds a side tone,
the LED glows red, and the LCD displays the
contact information (or “Five Tone Call”) and an
appropriate call icon (Private Call: ; Group Call: ). If Auto Reset is enabled (by your
dealer), your radio will enter the Auto Reset mode after successful encoding, with the LED glowing orange, until the Auto Reset Time expires.
Decoding:
Your radio can automatically decode the 5-Tone
signaling when receiving any matched one. During decoding, the LED glows green. After successful decoding, the LCD displays the contact information (or “Five Tone Call”), an appropriate call
icon (Private Call: ; Group Call: ), and the decoded status message. If Auto Reset is enabled
(by your dealer), your radio will enter the Auto Reset mode, with the LED glowing orange, until the Auto Reset Time expires.

2-Tone

With this signaling, the radio can transmit and receive
2-Tone calls.
Encoding:
1. Request your dealer to configure the correct format and type for the encoding contents.
2. Press the PTT key or the programmed One Touch Call 1 – One Touch Call 5 keys to send
the 5-Tone signaling.
During encoding, the radio sounds a side tone,
the LED glows red, and the LCD displays the call
icon with contact information above it. If Auto Reset is enabled (by your dealer), your radio
will enter the Auto Reset mode after successful encoding, with the LED glowing orange, until the Auto Reset Time expires.
Decoding:
Your radio can automatically decode the 2-Tone sig-
naling when receiving any matched one. During decoding, the LED glows green. After suc-
cessful decoding, the LCD displays the call icon and the call type (selective call, alert call w/voice,
alert call) below the icon according the decoding type. If Auto Reset is enabled (by your dealer), your radio will enter the Auto Reset mode, with the LED glowing orange, until the Auto Reset Time expires. The radio cannot enter the Auto Reset mode if it is an alert call.
