Thank you for purchasing UNICATION’s U3 Radio. We believe that this professional
two-way radio will provide you with a reliable communications solution for daily operations,
emergencies and critical missions. The following is a function overview of the U3 2-way
radio.
Support both Digital and Analog Simultaneously
The usage of narrow band digital two-way radios is a movement that is becoming more and
more significant, but it is undoubtedly true that switching to a completely new digital radio
system requires costly terminals and infrastructure upgrades. The Unication U3 radio series
provides a phased upgrade solution, which ensures that every penny you invest now on
analog portables will be an advancement to your digital system. The U3 can support both
digital and analog signals in the same time, and it can help you reduce the enormous
investment on systems during the transition time.
Advanced AES-256 Encryption even under Analog Systems
The Unication U3 radio series are intelligently designed for critical missions, where
communications confidentiality is key for task security and success. The U3 radio includes
AES Encryption, which is one of the most well developed and certified technologies in voice
communication applications. It is the best choice for preventing eavesdropping when
needing secure voice communications.
Additionally, the Unication Radio series is equipped with Secure digital voice (SDVOA) over
existing analog repeaters or advanced Unication digital repeaters. Through Unication digital
voice technology, Unication U3 radio series also promises a better noise rejection and
preserves voice quality over a greater range than analog systems, especially at the farthest
edges of the transmission range.
Live Site Photo- Instant Transmission of Images Via the two-way Radio System
A picture is worth a thousand words, especially in critical missions. The Unication U3 radio
series has an advanced image messaging feature, with a 2” color display on portables
which supports transmission and reception of color images such as crime scenes, mug
shots, maps and so on.
GPS Location Map- Knowing the Locations of your Team Members
The key to successfully execute missions are time, and location information. How fast can
your radio system react?
With a simple setup and migration-free system deployment, the Unication U3 Radio Series
provides GPS locations on the 2” display map for all your rescue and tracking purposes.
To know further details about the U3 and enhance your user experience, please read this manual.
Thank you!

Instructions for Occupational Use
Part F: WARRANTY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET WHICH
CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FORSAFE USAGE,
RF ENERGY AWARENESS, CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS
INAPPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION ON INTRINSIC SAFETY
ON PAGE 11 OF THISBOOKLET.
Part F: WARRANTY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance.
It applies radio waves or radio frequency (RF) energy to transmit and receive voice
calls or data. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include,
but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be
confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used
improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example,
can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards
provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general
public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of
protection.
All UNICATION U3 two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to
ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. Additionally,
manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way
radios. These instructions are essential because they inform users about RF energy
exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy
exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure
limits for portable two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. 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 product label
directing users to specific user awareness information. Your UNICATION U3 two-way
radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. In addition, your UNICATION U3 user manual
and separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions
required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Part F: WARRANTY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
UNICATION’s U3 two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number
of national and International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the
IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure
environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50%listen and is
authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy
for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio generates measurable
RF energy only. while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving
(listening) or in standby mode.
UNICATION P25 two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations;
47CFR part 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 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to300
GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radio communications (Electromagnetic
Radiation – Human Exposure) Standard, 2003
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002 "Regulation of limitation of
exposure to electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the radiofrequency
range between 9 KHz and 300 GHz" and "Attachment to resolution #303 from July

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
GUIDELINES :
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other
users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a 5-5-90duty
factor (5% talk-5% listen-90% standby) even though this radio complies with
FCC occupational exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50%
talk.
Note
Part F: WARRANTY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Operating Instructions
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit(talk),
push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
for standards compliance).
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and
other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters)
away from the nose or lips. Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping
the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with
increasing distance from the antenna.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in the UNICATION P25-approved
belt clip for this product. Using approved body worn accessories is important
because the use of non-UNICATION P25-approvedaccessories may cause
exposure levels, which exceed the FCC occupational/controlled environment RF
exposure limits.
• If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the
intended-use position in front of the face (one inch away), ensure the antenna
and the radio are kept at least 0.75 inches (1.9 centimeters) from the body when
transmitting. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important because RF
exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.
Approved Accessories
• Use only UNICATION U3 -approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries,
and accessories. The use of Non-UNICATION P25 approved antennas, batteries,
and accessories may exceed the FCC (IEEE) and ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines.
• Here is a list of UNICATION U3 -approved accessories: Belt Clip, External Speaker
Mic. with wired earpiece, clone cable, USB cable, the 2400mAHr Lithium Polymer
battery, and the cradle charger.
