SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING

The M/A-COM P7200 portable 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.

The P7200 portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF

exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this M/A-COM

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.

RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES

CAUTION

To ensure that exposure 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

damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be

exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by

M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by M/A-COM for use

with this radio. (Refer to Table 2.)

• DO NOT transmit 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 appears in the display. The radio

will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.
