INTRODUCTION
The T3100 RF module is a VHF LOW Band FM transceiver assembly that operates in 30 - 50 MHz range.
The transceiver module is designed to be installed and operated in the Technisonic Multiband Airborne
Radio TDFM-9300/9200 platform. All external power and antenna connections are provided by the TDFM
9300 as well as controls are via the front panel and display from the TDFM 9300.
The RF module is capable of operating on Analog FM, Wide, with maximum transmit power of 10 watts.

NOTES
ESD CAUTION
This unit contains static sensitive devices. Wear a grounded wrist strap and/or conductive gloves
when handling printed circuit boards.
FCC COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING: For compliance with FCC RF Exposure Requirements the mobile transmitter
antenna installation shall comply with the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 3 dBi.
2. The transmitter antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a separation distance of 1 m or
more between the transmitter antenna of this device and persons during operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. 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.

INSTALATION
The T3100 module should be installed in the TDFM 9300 in accordance with TIL document 136569
“TDFM-9300 FINAL ASSEMBLY SSP".
The T3100 is intended to be mounted in the TDFM 9300/9200 chassis and is not visible. Therefore, a
second label must be applied to the outside of the TDFM 9300 that contains the following text:
“TDFM 9300 Multiband Transceiver. Contains Module: FCC ID IMA-T3100”.
In addition, external labeling for Industry Canada shall be applied to the TDFM 9300 to include the
following text: “Contains IC: 120A-T3100”.
