SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING
The XL-400P/XL-400P-NA portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF
exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only." In addition, this L3Harris radio complies with the
following Standards and Guidelines regarding RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and
evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
•
FCC KDB Publication 447498 General RF Exposure Guidance
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the
Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
•
IC Standard RSS-102. Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication
Apparatus (All Frequency Bands).
•
European Council Directive 89/391/EEC.
1.4.1

RF Exposure Guidelines

CAUTION
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio
•
and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the
antenna supplied with this radio by L3Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by L3Harris
for use with this radio. (Refer to
NOTE
•
Table 4-1.)
•
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time ("50% duty cycle"). Transmitting
•
more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be
exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the "TX" indicator appears in the display. The radio
will transmit by pressing the "PTT" (Push-To-Talk) button.
ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge,
•
low power can reduce RF exposure.

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.
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the
EU/AU/FCC/IC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the
following guidelines:
Battery packs shipped in shutdown mode (i.e., 14100-4000-07, RevA)
require waking before use. To wake a battery pack, place it in the charger
(with or without radio attached; radio on or off) for less than one minute.
