I. FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements -
or Occupational Use Only
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General
Docket 93-62, November 7, 1997, has adopted a safet standard for human
exposure to Radio Frequenc (RF) electromagnetic energ emitted b FCC
regulated equipment. Topaz3 / Maxon subscribes to the same safet standard
for the use of its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in user
exposure far below the Occupational Safet and Health Act (OSHA) and
Federal Communications Commission limits.
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 3 dBd.
The radio must be used in vehicle-mount configurations with a maximum
operating dut factor not exceeding 50%, in t pical push-to-talk configurations.
This radio is NOT approved for use b the general population in an uncon-
trolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related
operations onl where radio operator must have the knowledge to control the
exposure conditions of its passengers and b standers b maintaining the
minimum separation distance of 5 feet (1.6 meters) between an persons and
the antenna. Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the
FCC RF exposure limits.
CAUTION - DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50%
dut c cle). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause
FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The
radio is transmitting when the red LED on the front of the radio
is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit b pressing
the P-T-T button on the radios microphone.
CAUTION - DO NOT operate the transmitter of SM -6000 mobile radio
when someone (b standers) outside the vehicle is within 5 feet
(1.6 meters) of the antenna.
Antenna installation must be limited to the center of the roof-top of a vehicle
where the passengers are below the metallic ground plane (roof-top) to ensure
compliance.
Note: This radio operates in FCC regulated frequenc bands. All radios must
be licensed b the FCC before use. Because this radio contains a transmitter,
Federal law prohibits unauthorized use or adjustments of this radio.

V. Installation Sa eguards
WARNING - DO NOT install the radio unit where it will interfere with the
proper operation of automatic collision protection devices (air
bags).
WARNING - DO NOT install the radio unit where it is likel to cause injur in
case of an accident.
Note: This radio is NOT intended for operation in a positive ground vehicle.
A. Select a location for the radio where ou will be able to easil see and
reach all the controls and the microphone.
B. Using the radio mounting bracket as a template, mark with a pencil the
locations where the bracket securing screws will be placed.
Note: Before drilling holes in the vehicle, verif that there is nothing that could
be damaged or get in the wa b drilling and putting screws in this location. It is
better to use existing passages in the dashboard, trunk, and floor for routing
the cable, thus avoiding excessive drilling and possible damage.
C. After drilling holes for the mounting bracket, attach the bracket to the
mounting surface b using the two (2) large Phillips head screws
provided.
D. Attach the radio to the mounting bracket using the black screw knobs
(located on each side of the radio) along with the two (2) spring-lock
washers and two (2) large flat washers provided. If necessar , connect
the power suppl cord for the radio before mounting the radio to the
bracket.
Note: Depending on the radio mounting location, it ma be more convenient
to attach the microphone bracket to the radio before installing the radio.
E. Using the two (2) small Phillips head screws provided, mount the micro-
phonebracket to the side of the radio. There are two options for
installing the microphone bracket, allowing the on-hook placement
of the microphone from either the top or the front of the bracket.
F. Push the modular microphone connector into the microphone jack
(located on the front of the radio) until ou hear a click.
CAUTION - Some electronic fuel injection, anti-lock braking s stems, cruise
controls, and vehicle alarms ma be subject to interference
from radio frequenc energ or ma malfunction due to a lack
of protection from RF energ . If the vehicle contains such equip-
ment, consult our radio communications Dealer for assistance
or advice in determining whether the electronic equipment in
the vehicle will operate properl when the radio is transmitting.
