1.2 SAFETY TRAINING
INFORMATION
The L3Harris XL
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
Populati
on” in an uncontrolled
environment.
The XL portable radio has been tested and complies
with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use
Only.” In addition, this radio complies with the following
Standards and Guidelines with regard to 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 –
19921), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with
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. Radio frequency Exposure
Compliance of Radio communication Apparatus
(All Frequency Bands).

WARNING

8 14221-1800-2060
1.2.1 RF Exposure Guidelines
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:
•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.
•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.
•ALWAYS use L3Harris authorized accessories
(antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics,
etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause
the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF
compliance requirements to be exceeded. (Refer
to Table 1-1.)
•As noted in Table 1-1, ALWAYS keep the housing
of the transmitter AT LEAST 0.47 inches (1.2 cm)
from the body and at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm)
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,
L3Harris recommends you hold the microphone at
least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off
to one side.
•Refer to Standard EN 62311:2008.

The information in this section provides the information
needed to make the user aware of a RF exposure, and
what to do to assure that this radio operates within the
FCC RF exposure limits.
1.2.2 Electromagnetic
Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, L3Harris radios generate RF
energy that can possibly cause interference with other
devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off
the radios 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.
2Minimum safe operating distances for the radio are
based on the Harmonized Standards and SAR
evaluation.
3This is worst case based on the thinnest body mount
accessory (belt clip).
NOTE

1.3 REGULATORY APPROVALS
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
1.3.1 Part 15
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference,
and
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
1.3.2 Industry Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada license-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
1.4 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. Mountains can
also reduce the range of the unit.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some
improvement may be obtained by ensuring the antenna
is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or
moving to a higher elevation may also improve
communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with
the use of an externally mounted antenna.
Battery condition is another important factor in the
trouble-free operation of a portable radio. Always
properly charge the batteries.
1.4.1 Efficient Radio Operation
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving
or transmitting a message.

14221-1800-2060 11
Do NOT hold onto the antenna
when the radio is powered on.
1.4.2 Antenna Care and Replacement
Always keep the antenna at least
0.47 inches (1.2 cm) away from the
body and 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) from
the face when transmitting to
ensure FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements are not
exceeded.
Do not use the portable radio with a
damaged or missing antenna. A
minor burn may result if skin comes
into contact with a damaged
antenna. Replace a damaged
antenna immediately. Operating a
portable radio with the antenna
missing could cause personal
injury, damage the radio, and may
violate FCC regulations.
Use only the supplied or approved
antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could
cause damage to the radio unit and
may violate FCC regulations.
1.4.3 Electronic Devices
RF energy from portable radios may
affect some electronic equipment.
Most modern electronic equipment in
cars, hospitals, homes, etc., are
shielded from RF energy. However, in
areas in which you are instructed to
turn off two-
way radio equipment,
always observe the rules. If in doubt,
turn it off!
