SYD TD-780 Technical Manual

SAFETYTRAINING INFORMATION

Your New Century radio generates RF electromagnetic energy

during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as

“Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during

the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards,

and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT

intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled

environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for

“Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your New Century radio 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.

 The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories

other than those (listed in the instruction) specified may result in RF exposure levels

exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic
energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational use, always adhere to the following
guidelines:

 DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged

the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper

antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or antenna

specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.

 DO NOT transmits for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%duty cycle”).

Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights

red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.

 ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when

transmitting and only use the New Century belt-clip which is listed in instructions

when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the

best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and

slightly off to one side.

The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him

or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to as-sure that this radio operates with the

FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your New Century radio generates RF energy that can possibly

cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the

radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas

that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting

sites.

Occupational/Controlled Use

The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as consequence

of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure

and can exercise control over their exposure.

IMPORTANT

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

WORD DEFINITION

WAR NING

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock

may occur.

CAUTION

Equipment damage may occur.

NOTE

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk

of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

OPERATING NOTES

 When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with its

microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from your mouth. Keep the antenna at

least 2.5 cm (1 inch) from your head and body.

 If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the antenna is at least

2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when transmitting.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching

exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver

will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the

transceiver is vertical.

WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at

high volume levels.

CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other than the Battery listed below

Such a connection will ruin the transceiver.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures

below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).

DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.

MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely attached to the

transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing

the inside of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.

BE CAREFUL! The series transceivers employ waterproof construction, which

corresponds to IPX7 of the international standard IEC 60529 (2001), 1 m depth for 30

minutes. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be

guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal

damaged, etc.

The use of non-New Century battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver

performance and invalidate the warranty.

FCC CAUTION:

Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by New Century,

could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
