    MM23772, Rev. F 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.
  • Page 11: Safety Training Information

    MM23772, Rev. F SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION The M/A-COM P7200 and P5200 portable radios generate 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.
  • Page 12: Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

    MM23772, Rev. F • As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.1 cm (0.43 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.00 inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.
  • Page 13: Operating Tips

    MM23772, Rev. F 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.
  • Page 14: Aircraft

    MM23772, Rev. F 3.1.3 Aircraft Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft! Use it on the ground only with crew permission. DO NOT use while in-flight!! 3.1.4 Electric Blasting Caps To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting operations.
  • Page 15: Batteries

    MM23772, Rev. F BATTERIES The P7200 and P5200 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), or Lithium Ion (Li Ion) batteries. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each type of battery. Do not disassemble or modify Lithium Ion battery packs.
  • Page 16: Charging Battery Packs

    MM23772, Rev. F CHARGING BATTERY PACKS Battery chargers are available from M/A-COM with nominal charge times of one hour. Combinations include single and multi-position, rapid charge units. M/A-COM chargers are specifically designed for charging nickel-based and lithium ion battery packs. The chargers are chemistry-specific for the battery packs and automatically adjust the charging profiles accordingly.
  • Page 17: Change The Battery Pack

    MM23772, Rev. F CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK 4.4.1 Remove the Battery Pack Make sure the power to the radio is turned OFF. Although the P7200 and P5200 have been designed to tolerate changing the battery pack without turning power off, M/A-COM, Inc. recommends turning radios off before changing battery packs to ensure safety and best operation.
  • Page 18: Battery Disposal

    MM23772, Rev. F BATTERY DISPOSAL In no instance should a battery be incinerated. Disposing of a battery by burning will cause an explosion. CAUTION RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK DISPOSAL – The product you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream.

F 8.28 OPENSKY ENCRYPTION (P7200 ONLY) In the OpenSky network, both data and voice use a 128-bit or 256-bit key encryption standard published by the Federal Information Processing Service (FIPS), called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce for encryption of classified materials. When encryption is enabled on the network, data is encrypted from the MDIS to the Mobile End System (MES) (e.g., P7200 portable radio).

    MM23772, Rev. F 8.31.4 Use the XCOV-TG Mode When using the XCOV-TG mode, up to thirty (30) client radios can connect to the V-TAC. However, unlike XCOV, radios connected to using XCOV-TG are limited to communicating only on the XCOV-TG talk group and emergency communications. Advanced features such as selective calling and mobile data operations are not available to the XCOV-TG connected clients.
