FCC StatementThis equipment has been tested and found to comply withthe limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to providereasonable protection against harmful interference in aresidential installation. This equipment generates and canradiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and usedin accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. However, there isno guarantee that interference will not occur in aparticular installation. Verification of harmfulinterference by this equipment to radio or televisionreception can be determined by turning it off and then on.The user is encouraged to try to correct the interferenceby one or more of the following measures:

l Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increasethe separation between the equipment and receiver.

l Connect the equipment into an outlet on a differentcircuit to that of the receiver's outlet.

l Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TVtechnician for help.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

l This device may not cause harmful interference.l This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesiredoperation.

Note: Changes or modifications to this unit not expresslyapproved by the party responsible for compliance couldvoid the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Compliance with RF ExposureStandardsThe radio complies with the following RF energyexposure standards and guidelines:

l United States Federal Communications Commission,Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR § 1.1307,1.1310 and 2.1093

l American National Standards Institute(ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and ElectronicEngineers (IEEE) C95. 1:2005; Canada RSS102 Issue5 March 2015

l Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE) C95.1:2005 Edition

RF Exposure Compliance andControl Guidelines and OperatingInstructionsTo control your exposure and ensure compliance with theoccupational/controlled environmental exposure limits,always adhere to the following procedures.

Guidelines:

l Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from thedevice.

l User awareness instructions should accompanydevice when transferred to other users.

l Do not use this device if the operational requirementsdescribed herein are not met.

Operating Instructions:

l Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50%of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk(PTT) key. To receive calls, release the PTT key.Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is importantbecause the radio generates measurable RF energyonly when transmitting (in terms of measuring forstandards compliance).

l Keep the radio unit at least 2.5 cm away from theface. Keeping the radio at the proper distance isimportant as RF exposure decreases with distancefrom the antenna. The antenna should be kept awayfrom the face and eyes.

l When worn on the body, always place the radio in anapproved holder, holster, case, or body harness or byuse of the correct clip for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in exposure levelswhich exceed the FCC's occupational/controlledenvironmental RF exposure limits.

l Use of non- approved antennas, batteries, andaccessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RFexposure guidelines.

l Contact your local dealer for the product's optionalaccessories.

Priority InterruptThe Priority Interrupt feature allows you to interrupt theongoing activities (such as a call, a call hang status, orremote monitor) on the current channel to free thechannel, so as to initiate a new call or a new data service.

The feature includes Manual Priority Interrupt and AutoPriority Interrupt.

Manual Priority InterruptTo manually terminate the ongoing activities, press thepreprogrammedManual Priority Interrupt key.

Auto Priority InterruptAuto Priority Interrupt includes Emergency PriorityInterrupt, Call Back Priority Interrupt, Message PriorityInterrupt, Radio Disable Priority Interrupt, and All CallPriority Interrupt. When this feature is enabled by yourdealer, you can interrupt an ongoing call by initiating anemergency call, all call, or sending the Radio Disablecommand or a short message.

Pseudo TrunkThe Pseudo Trunk feature allows the radio in repeatermode to select an idle time slot for communication. Whenone slot is busy, the radio automatically selects the othertime slot for communication. In this way, the featureimproves channel utilization and decreases theinterference to other ongoing calls on the channel.

To enable the feature, go to Menu > Programming >Channel > Slot > Pseudo Trunk.

XPT SystemThe XPT System is based on the digital conventionalsystem. It connects multiple repeaters to create anextended pseudo trunking system. The system allows theradio to communicate through any of the repeaters in thesite by sharing the logic channels of these repeaters, so asto increase the channel utilization and extend thecommunication capacity. In such case, a dedicatedcontrol channel is no longer required.

XPT system is categorized as single-site trunking systemand multi-site trunking system.

l Single- site trunking system consists of a masterrepeater and multiple slave repeaters. Theserepeaters are connected by exchange devices.

l Multi-site trunking system consists of multiple single-site trunking systems. They are connected by themulti-site IP network.

The radio in the XPT system supports services includingcall, data, roam, emergency, and priority interrupt. Fordetailed information, see the features in conventionalmode.

SFRThe SFR feature allows the radio in DMO mode toreceive services on one time slot and then forwards themon the other, using the same frequency and code. Withthis feature enabled, the radio can repeat the voice, data,or signaling even when it is out of network coverage. Inthis way, the feature expands the communicationcoverage and saves frequency resources.

23

To enable the feature, you can press the preprogrammedSRF key or go to Menu > Settings > Radio Set > SRF.Then the radio displays "DM-R" and .

If Auto SRF is enabled by your dealer for a channel, theradio automatically enables the SRF feature whenswitching to the channel.

RoamConventional ModeThe Roam feature allows the radio in the IP- basedmultisite system to automatically register with theavailable BS according to the signal strength. In this way,you can enjoy seamless communication across sites ornetworks.

Enabling the Roam Featurel Press the preprogrammed Roam key.l Go to Menu > Roam > Roam On/Off , and then

selectOn.

When the roam feature is enabled, the radio displays .

Setting the Roam ListThe roam list is a group of channels under monitoring.Each list contains up to 32 channels.

To add or delete a channel in a roam list, go to Menu >Roam > Roam List , and then select the required roamlist.

Trunking ModeThe Roam feature allows the radio on the move toautomatically register with a non-home BS or network.

When signals are detected, the radio initiates to register

and displays .

The Roam feature is enabled by your dealer.

Work OrderThe Work Order feature allows you to receive a taskfrom the dispatcher and report the latest task state to thedispatcher at each stage of the task.
