SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
WARNING
Your M/A-COM 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.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF
exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition,
your M/A-COM 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 OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C,
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
•American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992),
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.

4
CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy is within the
FCC 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 you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A
proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio
by M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by
M/A-COM 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. You can cause the radio to transmit by
pressing the “PTT” button.
•ALWAYS use M/A-COM 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.
•ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2
cm (0.8 inches) from the body and at least 5 cm (2
inches) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC
RF exposure compliance requirements are not

5
exceeded. This radio has been tested for RF
exposure compliance at a distance of 1.1 cm from the
body and 2.5 cm from the face for a worst-case
scenario. However, to provide the recipients of your
transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna
at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to
one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the
information needed to make him or her aware of a RF
exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates
within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your M/A-COM 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.

OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of
two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar
with the rules that apply to your particular type of radio
operation. Following these rules will help eliminate
confusion and will assure the most efficient use of existing
radio channels. This will provide a smooth operating radio
network.
When using the radio, remember these rules:
1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or
emergency message. As the radio operates in much
the same way as a telephone "party line" when in
conventional mode, always listen and/or observe the
absence of the “busy” display (refer to Table 1 – Three
Line Display for display character) to make sure that
the line is clear before sending any messages. If
someone is sending an emergency message, such as
reporting a fire or asking for help in an accident, KEEP
OFF THE AIR! Emergency calls have priority over all
other messages.
2. Use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by
Federal Law.
3. It is against the law to send false call letters or a false
distress or emergency message.

7
4. The FCC requires that conversations be brief and
confined to business. To save time, use coded
messages whenever possible.
5. Using the radio to send personal messages (except in
an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send only
those messages essential for the business operation.
6. It is against Federal Law to repeat or otherwise make
known anything overheard on the radio. Conversations
between others sharing your channel must be
regarded as confidential.

8
OPERATING TIPS
The following conditions tend to reduce the effective
range of two-way radios and should be avoided whenever
possible.
•Operating the radio in low terrain areas or while under
power lines or bridges.
•Operating the radio inside of a vehicle or inside metal
or steel framed building unless using an outside
antenna.

BATTERY DISPOSAL
The JAGUAR 725P and Pi portable radios use
rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Nickel Cadmium Battery Pack Disposal
At the end of its useful life, under
various state and local laws, it may
be illegal to dispose of the Nickel
Cadmium batteries into the
municipal waste stream. Check with
local solid waste officials for details
of recycling options or proper disposal. Call Toll Free 1-
800-8BATTERY for information and/or procedures for
returning rechargeable batteries in your state.
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Pack Disposal
There are no special requirements concerning the
disposal of NiMH batteries. Batteries can be recycled. Call
Toll Free 1-800-8BATTERY for information.

USER INTERFACE
This manual describes the basic functions and
operation of the 725P & 725Pi System/Scan portable
radios. For more detailed information about the features
and operation refer to the appropriate Maintenance Manual
or contact your System Administrator.
Water Resistance
The Jaguar 725P and Pi portable radios operate
reliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meet
MIL-STD-810E specifications for driven rain, humidity, and
salt fog. In addition, the Pi model radio is guaranteed for
operation after immersion in 1 foot of water for up to 2
hours. It is important to note that in order to help preserve
the water-resistant integrity of this radio, unauthorized
tampering or disassembly of the Pi model radio may
damage the radio and will void the immersion warranty.
NOTE
The “i” in JAGUAR 725Pi denotes the
radio model is resistant to damage due
to water immersion. For more precise
specifications refer to the appropriate
specifications sheet or contact your
system administrator.
