MM-012099-001 SAFETY SECTION 9
MM-012099-001 1 SAFETY CONVENTIONS The following conventions are used throughout this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions that must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warning elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. M/A-COM, Inc. assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these standards.
MM-012099-001 2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION The M/A-COM P5400 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.
MM-012099-001 • As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.1 cm (0.43 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, M/A-COM recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.
MM-012099-001 3 OPERATING TIPS Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit. In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the antenna is vertical.
MM-012099-001 3.1.3 3.1.4 Aircraft • Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft! • Use it on the ground only with crew permission. • DO NOT use while in-flight!! Electric Blasting Caps To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting operations. Always obey the "Turn Off Two-Way Radios" signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard: 1926.900) 3.1.
MM-012099-001 4 BATTERIES The P5400 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), or Lithium Ion (Li Ion) batteries. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each type of battery. Do not disassemble or modify Lithium Ion battery packs. The Lithium Ion battery packs are equipped with built-in safety and protection features.
MM-012099-001 Always use M/A-COM authorized chargers and conditioners. Use of unauthorized chargers and conditioners may void the warranty. CAUTION 4.1.3 Additional Information For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio batteries or establishing a battery maintenance program, refer to ECR-7367 which may be ordered by calling toll free 1-800-368-3277, then select option 7. 4.2 CHARGING BATTERY PACKS Battery chargers are available from M/A-COM with nominal charge times.
MM-012099-001 Do not leave any M/A-COM rechargeable batteries in a charger for more than a few days. 4.4 CHANGING THE BATTERY PACK 4.4.1 Removing the Battery Pack Make sure the power to the radio is turned OFF. CAUTION Although the P5400 has been designed to tolerate changing the battery pack without turning power off, M/A-COM, Inc. recommends turning the radio off before changing battery packs to ensure safety and best operation. 1.
MM-012099-001 4.4.2 Attaching the Battery Pack Make sure the power to the radio is turned OFF. 1. Align the tabs at each side on the bottom of the battery pack with the slots at the bottom of the battery cavity . 2. Push the top of the battery pack down until the latches click to attach the battery to the radio. 3. Tug gently to verify that the latches are secure and the battery pack is properly attached to the radio. Figure 4-2: Attaching the Battery Pack 4.

2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION The M/A-COM P5400 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.
transmission, M/A-COM recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. Table 1-1: RF Exposure Compliance Testing Distances RADIO FREQUENCY 378-430 MHz TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) Body Face 1.1 cm 2.5 cm The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of a RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. 2.
3.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement Always keep the antenna at least 0.43 inches (1.1 cm.) away from the body and 1.0 inch (2.5 cm.) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if skin comes into contact with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately.
3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
If the battery is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water. If the battery electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician immediately. 5.1 CONDITIONING NIMH BATTERY PACKS Condition a new NiMH battery before putting into use. This also applies to rechargeable NiMH batteries that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer).
5.5 BATTERY DISPOSAL In no instance should a battery be incinerated. Disposing of a battery by burning will cause an explosion. CAUTION RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK DISPOSAL – The product you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream.
