March 2024 Page 6 of 18 8F083X16 Rev. 6 Suitcase Mount DVRS Installation Guide RF Energy Exposure Compliance, Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions This radio equipment is intended for use in occupational / controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer or any other use. ATTENTION! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Futurecom Systems Group, ULC. could void the User's authority to operate the equipment. Temporary-Fixed Site Futurecom requires the P25 Suitcase Mount DVRS operator to ensure FCC/IC Requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure are met. It is the responsibility of the Licensee to ensure that the appropriate separation distances between the antennas and bystanders are established and followed to meet the FCC and IC Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Requirements in any particular Temporary-Fixed location. In situations where a site assessment is not practical, it is recommended that the antennas be located at least 9 feet from bystanders. This should ensure MPE compliance in any Temporary-Fixed application and is likely to be a much greater separation distance than is necessary in most cases. Failure to observe the MPE distance exclusion area around the antenna may expose persons within this area to RF energy above the FCC/IC exposure limits for bystanders (general population). Vehicular Use If the Suitcase Mount DVRS is set up in an vehicle, Users should refer to the separation distances specified in the "RF Safety" Book 8F083X03 (shipped with the DVRS) to determine the separation distances to be used and the antennas approved for such vehicular use. Failure to observe the MPE distance exclusion area around the antenna may expose persons within this area to RF energy above the FCC/IC exposure limits for bystanders (general population). It is the responsibility of the repeater operator to ensure MPE limits are observed at all times during transmissions. ATTENTION! Approved antennas and associated output powers for use with Suitcase Mount (suitcase) DVRS and APX Mobile radios are listed in Appendix 2 of this document. Refer to Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure Booklet 8F083X03 (shipped with DVRS) for basic fixed site installation guidance, and for use in a vehicular application. March 2024 Page 7 of 18 8F083X16 Rev. 6 Suitcase Mount DVRS Installation Guide Introduction The Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS) is typically mounted inside the trunk of a car and powered from the car's battery. Some applications other than vehicular use require added flexibility, which can be achieved with the use of a Suitcase Mount DVRS. Note: - Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure Booklet 8F083X03 includes approved antennas and associated output powers for DVRS vehicular installation. The Suitcase Mount DVRS is a complete DVRS and power supply packaged in a compact suitcase as shown on Figure 1 below. The Suitcase Mount DVRS can be powered up either by connecting it directly to 117V AC or by using a battery pack (ordered separately). As an option, the unit can be configured for 220V AC Operation. The battery is packaged in a similar suitcase and provides up to 3 hrs of backup (50/50% duty cycle). The operation of the battery pack and charger are described in document 8M077X02. Dimensions: 23" x 16" x 10" Figure 1 Suitcase Mount DVRS March 2024 Page 8 of 18 8F083X16 Rev. 6 Suitcase Mount DVRS Installation Guide Suitcase Mount DVRS Installation Installation Tools Required Description Needed for: #2 Philips Tightening of screws. 3/16" Flat Screwdriver Tightening of connector screws. Installation Guidelines STEP 1 Open the Suitcase Mount DVRS cover and note the location of the mounting screws for the MSU speaker bracket and microphone clip as shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3.

Ensure the templates are fully matched by following the Guidelines provided in the DVRS Programming Guide. To program the DVRS, connect a PC with compatible Tweaker Programming Software to the DVR USB port located under the cap behind the MSU Speaker at the back end of the suitcase. IMPORTANT! When programming the DVRS Frequencies, please ensure they match the DVRS Filtering frequencies. To check the tuning of the DVRS Duplexer, please refer to the DVRS labels located on the inside lid cover as shown on Figure 12. March 2024 Figure 12 DVRS labels inside the lid cover Page 14 of 18 8F083X16 Rev. 6 Suitcase Mount DVRS Installation Guide Suitcase Mount DVRS Antenna Requirements Any DVRS Model requires the use of two or three antennas one or two connected to the Mobile Radio and one connected to the DVR. The antennas are not part of the Suitcase Mount package and need to be provided separately. Refer to Appendix 2 for a list of approved antennas for Temporary-Fixed Site. IMPORTANT! All DVRS models require 30dB minimum Antenna Isolation between the DVR and Mobile Radio Antennas for interference-free operation. A separation of several feet between the antennas may be needed to achieve this. In addition to 30dB isolation, ensure RF exposure separation distance is maintained. Refer to the RF Energy Exposure Compliance, Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions section of this document.
