MM-008212-001, Rev. A 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-008212-001, Rev. A 2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION The M/A-COM P5300 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-008212-001, Rev. A • As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 2.8 cm (1.1 inch) 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.
