1.1.1  Federal Communications Commission 
Regulations 

Your M/A-COM, Inc. EDACS D3100 RF Modem is designed and tested to 
comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile two-way radios 
before it can be marketed in the United States.  When two-way radios are 
used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully 
aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational 
requirements.  Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label 
directing users to specific user awareness information.  Your M/A-COM, Inc. 
EDACS D3100 RF Modem has an RF exposure product label.  Also, your 
D3100 Installation and Operator’s Manual includes information and operating 
instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance 
requirements. 

1.2 

COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE 

STANDARDS 

Your M/A-COM, Inc. EDACS D3100 RF Modem is designed and tested to 
comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines 
(listed below) regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.  This 
radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for 
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty factors of up to 
60% talk-40% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use.  In 
terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure 
guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is 
transmitting (talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. 

Your M/A-COM, Inc. EDACS D3100 RF Modem complies with the 
following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: 

•

United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of 
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 2 sub-part J. 

•

American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical 
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992. 

•

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999.
