RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION

This transceiver has been tested an complies with both national and inter-

national standards in regards to Radio Frequency (RF) energy emitted and
guidelines regarding human exposure to RF energy. The radio complies
with FCC and IEEE guidelines for occupational use/controlled RF expo-
sure environments, where duty talk cycles should be limited to 50% talk,
50% listen based on recommendations by the National Council on radia-
tion Protection and Measurement as well as the American National Stan-
dards Institute.
Reference:

FCC OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 Supplement C;
47 CFR 1.1307; 1.1310 and 2.1093

ANSI C95.1.1992
ANSI C95.3.1992
Ministry of Health Canada Safety Code 6

Controlling your exposure to RF energy

To control your exposure to RF and comply with the maximum exposure limits for
occupational/controlled environments, follow these guidelines:

1) Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated transmit duty cycle. This is
important because the radio radiates more energy when it is transmitting than
when it is receiving.

2) When listing and talking on the radio, hold it upright in front of your face so that it
is at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from any part of your face. Keeping the radio at
the recommended distance is important because exposure to RF decreases
rapidly the further away the antenna is from your body

Once configured to send out a Page:

1. Select the channel to the Group or Team or Mem­bers that you wish to Page by using the channel
selector.

NOTE: As there are 128 channels available for programming,
we suggest that all channels that will be used to send out a
page could be entered and programmed as well as identified
separately as such. Ex: Channel 30 corresponds to FDPAGE
(as seen on the LCD screen for Fire Dept.); Channel 31 corre­sponds to EMS PG. (for EMS Members). Then perhaps pro­gram in Channel positions 1 and 2 these channels with std
CTCSS PL tones and use without page feature. (Calling them
FIRE and EMS, using them for regular radio traffic)

As a programming consideration, if this radio is to be used to
receive traffic from responders answering the page sent out by
the user of this radio, these PASGE OUT channel should be set
NOT TO DECODE or RECEIVE any pages, this so that the User
(in this case Chief) may hear the responders reply to the mes­sage or information sent.

>If this is the case, then a separate DECODE/Receive channel
should then be set up to act as a paging receiver for the user to
receive pages from dispatch or others. That channel in turn will
not be set up to ENCODE or send out a page.

Ex. Channel 40 corresponds to FDPGRX (as seen on the LCD

Screen); Channel 41 corresponds to EMSPRX

2. To send out a Page and Message:

Press and hold down the Orange Button
until you hear a “Beep” from the Radio’s
speaker.

With the Orange Button being held down, both the
RED LED atop the radio and the RF Power Bar meter
on the lower part of the LCD will illuminate indicating
that your radio is transmitting.

When the “Beep” is heard, the transmitter will shut down. The
RED TX LED on the top of the radio and the RF Power Meter on
the LCD will turn off. Then use the PTT button and speak nor­mally into the microphone, announcing the details of the page
message to all units that were paged that were on that channel.

39

To Generate a Call (Tone) Group Page
(Use by Fire Chief, Command Staff etc.)

First: Your radio must be programmed to send a page
(set to encode)

Double Click on the “Tone Options”
box on the corresponding channel

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS & SAFETY GUIDELINES

RF ENERGY EXPOSURE IS DETERMINED PRIMARILY BY
THE DISTANCE TO AND THE POWER OF THE TRANSMIT­TING DEVICE. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the low-

est possible power is used and transmission time is kept to a minimum
consistent with effective communications and the antenna is at the
furthest possible distance from the body. Users should transmit no
more than 50% of the time and follow the guidelines:

To Transmit and Receive: You must be properly licensed by
the FCC or your governing radio communications authority
to use this radio on the programmed frequencies.

To Transmit, first hold down the MON (Monitor) button for a moment

to make sure that the channel is not busy with other traffic that you
may not hear this depending on the TONE that may be programmed in
shared transceivers if the channel is a shared frequency with other
users with different CTCSS/CDS Tones. You may also look at the sig­nal strength meter to ensure that the channel is clear.

To transmit: Push and hold the Push– to-Talk (PTT) Button; speak in a
normal voice. There is a 1/4 second delay before the radio transmits
as the antenna is tuned to the frequency/channel being used

This box then pops up
and should show that
this channel may receive
(Decode) as well as send
out ( Call/Encode) a 2
tone page.

The Tone Frequencies
for both Encode (Call)
and Decode (Receive)
are set up as shown on
page 33.

38

To Receive, release the PTT button.
Hand-held Transceiver Operation:

Hold the radio in a vertical position with the radio approximately 1.5 to

2.5 “ away from your lips.

Body Worn Application:

As in most cases whenever using an approved case and body pack for
this transceiver or not, use of this radio with the antenna touching the
body may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Antennas & Batteries

Use only Infinity supplied and approved antennas and batteries.
Use of non approved accessories and attachments as well as
user modifications could not only damage the radio and void
warranty, but also may void FCC regulations as well as
exceed RF exposure limits. DO NOT OVERCHARGE BATTER­IES. Consult Infinity or your Authorized Reseller/ Distributor
if you have any doubts or questions.

About Infinity: Infinity radios are sold only through Infinity or
Infinity authorized regional resellers. The radio is also field
programmable using the keypad (if enabled by the software),
or may be programmed by using a computer loaded with op­tional Infinity programming software with the appropriate inter­face cable. The sale and use of these radios is restricted to
licensed users only. User takes the responsibility to comply
with FCC requirements.

About Infinity performance: Users have remarked that the
Infinity radio outperforms most if not all major radio manufac­turers in direct radio to radio communications (distance). This
is due to the superior design of the radio and the built in an­tenna tuner used in the transceiver.

User Precautions

The following will assist you in fulfilling any

warranty obligations.

 No User Serviceable Parts inside. Refer repair to Factory Au-

thorized Personnel only.

Using your Paging Radio

Typically your radio will have one paging channel .
When using the radio as a paging receiver, set the

radio to that channel.
Turn the volume control up all the way.
When the radio receives and decodes a valid two

tone signal, the radio will emit an audible chime, as
well as allow you to hear the message being broad­cast by dispatch.

It will continue to allow you to hear the radio traffic
until the last transmission occurs or when 20 seconds
time of no carrier has elapsed. After 20 seconds of no
radio traffic on the channel, the radio will revert back
to page receive mode.

 Do not use the transceiver or charge the battery in an explo-

sive environment.

 Keep the transceiver out of direct sunlight, DO NOT expose

the unit to extreme heat or cold.

 Keep the transceiver out of dusty or humid areas. IF IM-

MERSED IN WATER, TAKE OUT OF WATER AND BLOW
AIR ACROSS SPEAKER AND SHAKE ANY WATER THAT
MAY BE TRAPPED IN FRONT OF THE SPEAKER GRILL.

 Do Not Transmit without an approved antenna connected to

the transceiver. Install the battery only after the

antenna is connected to the radio.

 Observe common sense when attempting to transmit in areas

such as construction sites, mines, hospitals, hazardous envi­ronments, etc..

How to use your Paging Radio

Product Features

Once programmed, your radio software programming for the Paging
Receive model should look similar to the screens below. This illustra­tion is a sample scenario of a Chief’s radio.

It is for illustration purposes only depicting typical radio applications of
the P-1000/P1010 P Series radios with paging option.

Examples:
Channel 1 is a repeater channel for Dispatch, no paging receive, on scan
Channel 2 is a weather channel with receive only
Channel 3 is the main repeater channel where one can hear all activity, not on
PRI scan. Hears all radio traffic and page tones. One hears all radio traffic for
Fire, Med, Public Works.
Channel 4 is the Fire Channel with 2 Tone Decode for Fire, using the same re­peater as EMS and Public Works. On paging Receive, on PRI scan. Only fire
page calls are heard.
Channel 5 is the EMS channel with 2 tone decode for EMS/MED calls. Uses
same repeater as Fire and Public Works. On paging receive, on PRI scan.
Channel 6 is the Public Works channel with 2 tone decode for Public Works.
On paging receive, not on PRI Scan.
Channel 7 is a DOT channel with 2 tone paging receive, not on PRI scan.

 128 channels
 5 watt (VHF), 4 watt (UHF) power output
 2 Tone Decode and Encode (P-Option)
 12.5 KHz narrow/ wi de band spaci ng

wi th 2.5 KHz Channel step

 ANI ID code (check compatibility with your radio

system)

 VOX operation (for hands free operation)
 LCD display with channel, frequency or English

language channel alias

 Scrambler (inverted type) operation (to keep con-

versations and information secure)

 Three color selectable backlit LCD
 Personal Emergency Alarm
 Programmable by PC or Front Keypad* [*Keypad

programming access may be locked out by the
software.]

This is the Fire Chief’s radio:

-Fire, EMS and Public Works use the same repeater.

-When on PRI scan, his radio scans and listens for pagesfrom both FIRE
and EMS. (Channels 4 and 5).

-If he is on Channel 3, he hears all traffic, and all tones generated by the
dispatcher ‘s paging terminal.

>IF THE CHIEF’S RADIO WAS PROGRAMMED TO ENCODE, HE
COULD THEN INITIATE A PAGE BY PRESSING AND HOLDING DOWN
THE ORANGE BUTTON ON THE RADIO ON THE APPROPRIATE
CHANNEL UNTIL HIS RADIO BEEPS AT HIM, INDICATING THAT A
PAGE WAS SUCCESFULLYSENT OUT.
