Using the Handset Safely
There are several safety requirements that users need to be aware of before using the
handset. The below safety measures will ensure that user exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy is within the Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) limits
Always
operate the radio with a proper antenna. In addition, do not hold the radio
by the antenna when it is turned on.
When the radio is transmitting, keep the antenna at least 1.2 cm (0.5 inches away
from the body and 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the face.
For best radio performance, use the radio in a vertical position, holding the radio 5
cm (2 inches) from the mouth while transmitting.
Always use the correct and appropriate battery, radio accessories and handset
charging station that is designed and designated by Harris for use with the Harris XL
200 radio model.
The TRN handset
On/off Switch.
The TRN handset is switched
on using the knob located on the left-hand
side of the top of the handset. After the
device has been switched on, the same
knob then acts as a volume control.
Switching the device on and turning up the
volume will result in a voice annunciation
reporting the channel that the device is
currently set to.
Zone Selector Switch
. This switch selects one of the 4 zones that all Health radios are
programmed with. Zone A is the operational zone for your area/unit.
Channel Selector Switch.
The channel selector switch allows the user to move between the
channels that have been programmed within each Zone. Each time the channel switch is
moved, the display changes to indicate the talk group that is associated with that channel.
A voice annunciation should also announce the talk group name as the channel is changed.
