RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety
Guide for Portable Two-Way VSM
ATTENTION
The Si Series Video Speaker Microphones (VSMs) are
ONLY compatible and certified when used with ASTRO
APX and TETRA MTP Radio Models. A Radio firmware
upgrade may be required to support colaborative operation.
Before using this product, read the RF Energy Exposure
and Product Safety Guide that shipped with the Radio
which contains instructions for safe usage and RF energy
awareness and control for compliance with applicable
standards and regulation. This equipment is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. For
body worn operation, this device has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guideline for use with a
Motorola Solutions, Inc. approved accessories sold with
this device.
Use of non-Motorola-approved body worn or battery
accessories may exceed the applicable RF exposure
guidelines (iEEE, ICNIRP or FCC).
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Motorola may void the user’s authority to operate this
device. This class B digital apparatus complies with
Canadian ICES-003.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this microphone
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and
its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada licenceexempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Frequency of operation - IC 5 GHz only
• The device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz
is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for
harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite
systems.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements -
FCC
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a res-
idential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harm-
ful interference to radio communications. However there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Warranty
Motorola Solutions warrants the Si Series device and
accessories for One (1) year. Please contact Motorola at 1-
800-927-2744 US/Canada for any product related

decreases the volume by one step.
Charging the Device
2 methods to charge the Si Series device:
1. Direct connection of the travel charger into the
Micro USB port
2. Drop-in charging via the Multi Unit Charger via 2
side contacts on the Si Series device.
Connecting your Si Series Device
The Si Series device may be connected via a traditional
wire, or wirelessly (Si500 model only) if your VSM is
BlueTooth enabled and configured by your
administrator.
Wired Connection
1. Connect the wire by attaching to the bottom of
your Si Series device, and secure with two thumb-
screws within the cable connector.
2. Connect to the VSM connector on the side of your
VSM by removing the dust cover if attached, and
secure with the thumbscrew on the bottom of the
connector.
Camera
The Si Series offers a 210 degree articulating camera.
Rotate the camera based on preferred device wearing
position and user height
Recording Video
Slide the Manual Slider on the side of the device up
to start recording, and down to stop recording.
Your Si Series device may also start video
recording automatically via an emergency button
press on the Si Series device or your VSM, if
configured by your Administrator.
Programmable Buttons
NOTE: The top orange button will initiate an emergency
signal and automatically start video recording, if
configured by your Administrator.
Wearing the Si Series Device
The carry holder offers a rotating belt clip, and allows
the device to be flexibly worn with speaker face in or
face out. The optional Shoulder Strap is used in conjuc-
tion with the Carry Holder to enable lapel wear using a
uniform or tactical vest epaulette.
Adaptive Audio technology (standard on Si500,
optional on Si300) reduces wind and ambient noise.
Press the PTT and speak normally - there is no need to
tilt or turn your head to the microphone.
Best position to wear the Si VSM
1. Worn on the left shoulder (upright or inverted) with
head angled such that mouth is towards the
microphone arrays.
2. Worn at the center of the chest (upright or rotated
+/- 90deg) with head angled such that mouth is
towards the microphone arrays.
Handling Precautions
The Si VSM meets IP67 specifications, allowing the
VSM to withstand adverse field conditions such as
being exposed to water or dust.
• Keep your device clean and exposure to water should
be avoided to help ensure optimal functionality and
performance.
• To clean the exterior surfaces of the VSM, use a
diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and
fresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one
gallon of water).
• These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a
periodic visual inspection reveals the presence of
smudges, grease, and/or grime.
Caution: The effects of certain chemicals and their
vapors can have harmful results on certain plastics.
Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners and other
chemicals.
