900 MHz Short Whip Antenna (896–941 MHz), FM/UL Approved

Equip a compatible Motorola MOTOTRBO portable radio with a compact, frequency-matched antenna using the Motorola PMAF4010A 900 MHz Short Whip Antenna.

Tuned for operation from 896 to 941 MHz, its approximately 11 cm design provides a lower-profile alternative to a full-length flexible whip antenna, making the radio more comfortable to carry and less likely to snag on clothing or equipment.

The PMAF4010A supports select FM/UL-approved radio configurations. Hazardous-location approval applies to the complete radio, battery and accessory combination—not to the antenna independently.

Compact 900 MHz Antenna

The PMAF4010A offers a shorter profile than Motorola’s full-length 900 MHz whip antenna. Its compact design is useful for employees who wear their radios on a belt or carry them in environments where a longer antenna may catch on clothing, equipment or nearby objects.

Tuned for 896–941 MHz

The antenna is specifically designed for compatible radios operating within the 896–941 MHz range. Using an antenna matched to the radio’s operating frequency helps support efficient transmission and reception.

This antenna should not be installed on VHF, UHF or 800 MHz radio models operating outside its specified range.

Compatible Radios

The PMAF4010A is compatible with select 900 MHz versions of Motorola radios, including:

• Motorola XPR 7380

• Motorola XPR 7380e

• Motorola XPR 7580

• Motorola XPR 7580e

• Select 900 MHz Motorola MOTOTRBO R7 models

• Select Motorola MOTOTRBO R7a configurations

• Equivalent regional MOTOTRBO models operating from 896–941 MHz

Compatibility depends on the radio’s frequency band and antenna connector. Confirm the radio’s complete model and operating range before ordering.

Short Whip vs. Full-Length Whip

Motorola offers multiple antenna options for compatible 900 MHz radios:

• PMAF4010A: Approximately 11 cm short whip for a compact carrying profile

• PMAF4012A: Approximately 14 cm flexible whip for users who prefer the full-length antenna design

The correct choice depends on the operating environment, carrying preference and approved radio configuration.

FM/UL Configuration Information

The PMAF4010A may be used as part of select Motorola FM- or UL-approved radio configurations.

Maintaining hazardous-location approval requires using the exact Motorola-approved combination of:

• Portable radio

• Battery

• Antenna

• Audio accessory

• Carrying accessory, when applicable

Substituting an unapproved component may invalidate the radio system’s hazardous-location certification. Confirm the complete approved configuration before use in a hazardous environment.

Important Frequency Information

Antenna selection must be based on the radio’s operating frequency—not solely on the radio family name. The XPR 7380 and XPR 7580 families are available in different frequency configurations that may require different antennas.

For compatible radios operating from 806–870 MHz, an 800 MHz antenna such as the PMAF4011A may be required instead.

When to Replace the Antenna

Replacement may be necessary if the existing antenna has:

• A cracked or split outer covering

• Permanent bends or deformation

• A loose mounting connection

• Damage near the antenna base

• Reduced range or intermittent performance

• Been lost during radio servicing

Inspect the radio’s antenna connector for damage before installing a replacement antenna.

Ideal Applications

• Industrial facilities

• Manufacturing operations

• Utilities and field service

• Transportation and logistics

• Public-safety communications
