14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 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. Harris assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these standards.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION WARNING The Harris XG-25P 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.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.59 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, Harris recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 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.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 3.1.3 WARNING 3.1.4 WARNING 3.1.5 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.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 4 CLEANING Keep the exterior of the radio, battery, antenna, and radio accessories clean. Periodically clean using the following procedures: 1. To remove dust and dirt, use a soft clean damp cloth. 2. For more rigorous cleaning, use the following procedure: CAUTION Do not use chemical cleaners, spray, or petroleum-based products. They may damage the radio housing. We recommend using an “antibacterial hand soap dishwashing liquid.” a.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 5 BATTERIES The XG-25P series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly), or Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries.
