Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

User Safety, Training, and General Information

READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE
USING YOUR MOTOROLA HANDHELD PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in
user guides published prior to June 2001. For information regarding radio use in a hazardous
atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Product Listing or Instruction Card,
which is included with radio models that offer this capability.
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and
should be used for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the
FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. Note that the approved,
supplied batteries for this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk-5% listen - 90% standby),
even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational exposure limits at duty cycles of up to
50% talk.
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
- United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR
part 2 sub-part J
- American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engi-
neers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
- Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
- 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 2001
- ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) "additional require-
ments for SMR, cellular and PCS product certification."

Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled environment RF
energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should transmit no more than
50% of the time and always adhere to the following procedures:
