This is normal and the radio may continue to be used. Do not operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio, and the antenna gain shall not exceed 3.9 dBi by the manufacturer declared. Do not transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time, more than 50% of the time can cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. Hazards and Hazardous Environments When in areas of explosive atmospheres (gases, dust, fumes, etc.), the radio shall be turned off. This includes when taking on fuel or while parked at a fueling facility. Hazards and Hazardous Environments (continued) The radio shall not be operated in or around locations that are using blasting devices or detonators. The radio shall be turned off in the area where blasting is in progress and in areas with signage stating that blasting is occurring. If transporting such materials, they shall be secured in an approved container to prevent inadvertent detonation from the radio. During transmissions, your 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. Physical exposure to radio frequency transmissions requires that the user or bystander cannot touch the radio while it is transmitting. A distance of at least three feet (90 cm) shall be maintained during transmission. The separation distance between user and the antenna will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements. If there are any problems with the radio, please contact AWC or your local distributor. Product Safety and RF Exposure This equipment is intended for use in occupational / controlled applications where users have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.

BEFORE USING THIS RADIO DEVICE, READ ALL RELATIVE MATERIALS IN THIS MANUAL FOR IMPORTANT OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE, RF ENERGY AWARENESS, AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from radio devices. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits before radio devices may be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios and repeaters are approved for occupational

/ controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished using labels, or by education and training through appropriate means such as information and instructions in user manuals or safety booklets. Your Advanced Wireless Communications two-way radio or repeater has an RF exposure information label on the device. The training material below includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions. Your Advanced Wireless Communications two-way radio devices are designed and tested to comply with several national and international standards and guidelines regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure guidelines, your radio device radiates measurable RF energy only while transmitting, not when it is receiving, or in stand-by mode. WARNING As the qualified end-user of this radio device you must control the exposure conditions in the area to ensure the minimum separation distance is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Use Only, for work-related use, transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna. Occupational/Controlled Use Only means it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards; NOT intended for use in an General population/uncontrolled environment. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle or away from the repeater antenna are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away from the antenna/vehicle. Do Not operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio, and the antenna gain shall not exceed 3.9 dBi by the manufacturer declared. Do Not transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time, more than 50% of the time can cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

Call Types Digital Operation Group Call A group call allows a user to call multiple units that are on the same talk group. Groups are established during programming and are generally on a per channel basis although there are two ways for a user to make a group call as described below:

1. Preset User makes a call on the channel where the talk group has been preset. Only users with the like talk group can receive and talk back. The user presses the PTT to make the call on the digital channel. 2. Contact List If the radio is programmed to allow access to the contacts list, the user may enter the contacts list by pressing the Menu key and navigating to the Contacts selection. Pressing the select key will provide the user a list of groups that they may PTT on. Once selected, the user may PTT on that group without leaving the contacts list and make a call to users of that talk group and receive traffic on that talk group. 6 Product Operation (continued) Note: Other users must share the same programming to be able to receive a call from the contact list. Once a user exits the contact list selection, the radio reverts to the channel preset. It does require knowledge of the talk groups and users when using the contact list method. Private / Individual Call The private or individual call allows a user to call another user without other users hearing their radio traffic. Private or individual calling may occur on either a per channel basis, via the contacts list, or manual dialing as discussed below:

1. Preset The contacts list is preprogrammed for individual call users from the RX Group List and TX Contact. User PTTs on the selected channel to make a private call. 2. Contact List If the radio is programmed to allow access to the contacts list, the user may enter the contacts list by pressing the Menu key and navigating to the Contacts selection. Pressing the select key will provide the user a list of individual unit IDs that they may PTT on. Once selected they user may PTT on that individual UID without leaving the contacts list and make an individual call to that user. Note: Other users must share the same programming to be able to receive a call from the contact list. Once a user exits the contact list selection, the radio reverts to the channel preset. It does require knowledge of the users when using the contact list method. 3. Manual Dialing If the radio is programmed to allow access to manual dialing, the user may enter the contacts by pressing the Menu key and navigating to Manual Dial. Once selected, the user may enter the UID for the party to be called via the DTMF microphone (optional accessory). The PTT is pressed to make the call. Note: Once a user exits manual dialing, the radio reverts to the channel preset. It does require knowledge of the users when using the contact list method. All Call All Call allows a user to call all users on a time slot. It is on the selected time slot only but will make a call to all talk groups on that time slot. It is useful for announcement calls from a supervisor or dispatcher. It is a one-way call. 1. Making an All Call An All Call is made using the same methodology as a group call. It can be Preset or Selected from the Menu depending on programming. 2. Receiving an All Call Upon receipt an All Call, the All Call menu will appear in the display. The user cannot reply to the All Call. 7 Analog Operation Analog Call Analog calling has no special calling methods. To make a call on an analog channel, the user selects the channel, presses the PTT button, speaks in the microphone and releases it to listen to the other partys reply.
