1.2.2 Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, this L3Harris radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause
interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas
where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
1.3 REGULATORY APPROVALS
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
1.3.1 Part 15
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.
1.3.2 Industry Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
1.4 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. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher
elevation may also improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an
externally mounted antenna.
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble-free operation of a portable radio.
Always properly charge the battery.
1.4.1 Efficient Radio Operation
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message.
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on!
