Результаты
расчетов
Перед выполнением
всех пунктов расчета необходимо с
помощью функции калькулятора расстояний
между антеннами определить расстояния
между стационарными и возимыми/носимыми
радиостанциями. Это расстояние и будет
определять минимальную дальность
радиосвязи, которую необходимо обеспечить.

Определение
высот установки антенн
Определение высоты

радиостанции ДСЦ, требуемой для
обеспечения надежной радиосвязи с
возимой и носимой радиостанцией на
расстоянии 2393 м.
Радиостанция

Исходя из соображений,
что передача сигнала будет происходить
во всех четырех направлениях, выбираем
большее значение.
С помощью специальной
функции в калькуляторе в программе СРС
ЦСС при попытке вычислить произведение
высот антенн (hрс*hрв)
выводится сообщение «Введенные данные
находятся вне области определения
функции». Из графика зависимости u2`=f(r)
по известным значениям r=2393м
и u2`=25,31дБ
найти значение произведения высот
невозможно, т.к. соответствующая точка
лежит ниже кривых.
При расчетах
программой СРС ЦСС с помощью задания
задачи определения высот установки
антенн радиостанций получаем наибольшее
значение 2,63 м в канале РН->РС.

IMPROVED AUDIO FEATURES
Your radio may be programmed by your dealer to utilise ONE of the following audio enhancement features.
Low Level Expansion (LLE)
LLE improves voice quality by reducing unwanted background noise when receiving a message. It is compatible with most major types of audio processing systems available today.
Companding
Companding improves voice quality by compressing your voice at transmission, and expanding it when receiving. Companding also reduces extraneous noise. However, to enjoy this beneÞt,
ALL
transmitting and receiving radios must have this feature activated.
GETTING STARTED
BATTERY INFORMATION
Battery Care and Tips
This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery.
The following battery tips will help you obtain the highest performance and longest cycle life from your
Motorola rechargeable battery.
¥ Charge your new battery overnight (
14-16 hours
) before using it to obtain maximum battery capacity and performance.
¥ Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
¥ When charging a battery that is attached to the radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
¥ The battery should be at about 25¡C (room temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 10¡C) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the battery.
¥ Charging a hot battery (above 35¡C) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that the battery is charged within these temperature limits.
¥ New batteries can be stored up to two years without signiÞcant cycle loss. Store new/unused batteries in a cool dry area.
¥ Batteries which have been in storage should be charged overnight.
¥ Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an Òextra boostÓ. This action will
signiÞcantly
reduce cycle life.
¥ Do not leave your radio and battery in the charger when not charging. Continuous charging will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger as a radio stand.)
¥ For optimum battery life and operation use only
Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to operate as an integrated energy system.

English
Recycling or Disposal of
Batteries
NiCd
At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas.
Motorola endorses and encourages the recycling of all re-chargeable batteries. Contact your local
Motorola dealer for further information.
Charging your Battery
When the battery level is very low, a blinking red
LED indicator lights up during transmit mode, and an alert tone sounds. You will need to recharge the battery before you can continue to use your radio.
Place the radio with the battery attached or the battery alone in the charger. The chargerÕs LED indicator will indicate the charging progress.
NOTE:
Since new batteries or batteries that have not been used for several months could prematurely indicate full charge (solid green
LED), charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours prior to initial use to achieve optimal performance.

Electromagnetic Fields)
To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
27
English
Portable Radio Operation and
EME Exposure
When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical
MAN WITH RA position with its microphone 2.5 to 5 centimeters (1 to 2 inches) away from your mouth.
Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your head and body.
If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters
(1 inch) from your body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise conÞgured for electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conßicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
Operational Warnings
!
!
W A R N I N G
Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inßate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inßates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your two-way radio when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualiÞed for use in such areas (for example, Factory
Mutual). Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or Þre resulting in bodily injury or even death.
