as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of
and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements.
Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to
specific user awareness information. Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100
IP
two-way
radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, your M7100
IP
Installation and
Operator’s Manuals include information and operating instructions required to
control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100
IP
mobile two-way radio is designed and tested
to comply with a number of national and international standards and
guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty factors of up to 50%
talk-50% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of
measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your
radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100
IP
mobile two-way radio complies with the
following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999.
NOTE – Table 1 lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for
bystanders in an uncontrolled and controlled environment, from transmitting
types of antennas (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at rated
radio power for mobile radios installed in a vehicle.

Install the radio’s antenna (M/A-COM part number 19B209568P6) in the
center of the vehicle’s roof. These mobile antenna installation guidelines are
limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles with appropriate ground
planes. The antenna installation should additionally be in accordance with the
