SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR RADIO.
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in
user guides published prior to October 2000. For information regarding radio use in a hazardous
atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction
Card, which is included with radio models that offer this capability.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
To transmit (talk) you must push the Push-To-Talk button; to receive (listen) you must release
the Push-To-Talk button. When the radio is transmitting, it generates radio frequency (RF) energy;
when it is receiving, or when it is off, it does not generate RF energy.
RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
Your Motorola radio is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and
guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):
¥ United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR 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
¥ National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the United States,
Report 86, 1986
¥ 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 to 300 GHz, 1999
¥ Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation -
Human Exposure) Standard 1999 (applicable to wireless phones only)
To assure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always
adhere to the following procedures:
Two-way Radio Operation
When using your radio, hold the radio in a vertical position
with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters)
away from the lips.
Body-worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you
wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always place the
radio in a Motorola approved clip, holder, holster, case, or
body harness for this product. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a Motorola approved body-worn accessory and are not
using the radio in the intended use positions along side of the head in the phone mode or in
front of the face in the two-way radio mode, then ensure the antenna and radio is kept the
following minimum distances from the body when transmitting:
¥ Phone or Two-way radio mode: one inch (2.5 centimeters)
¥ Data operation using any data feature with or without an accessory cable: one inch (2.5
centimeters)
2.5 to 5.0 cm
(1 to 2 in.)
