FCC Safety Information

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with
its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985,
has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC-regulated equipment. Motorola subscribes to
the same safety standards for the use of its products.
Proper operation of this radio will result in user expo-
sure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
• Do not hold the radio with the antenna
very close to, or touching, exposed parts
of the body, especially the face, ears, or
eyes, while transmitting. Hold the radio in
a vertical position with the microphone
two to three inches away from the lips.
• Do not hold the transmit switch (PTT) on
when not actually desiring to transmit.
• Do not allow children to play with any
radio equipment containing a transmitter.
• Do not operate this equipment near
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere. Under certain conditions,
radios can interfere with blasting opera-
tions. When you are in the vicinity of con-
struction work, look for, and observe,
signs cautioning against radio transmis-
sion. If radio transmission is prohibited,
you must not transmit until out of the
area. Furthermore, you must turn off your
radio to prevent any accidental transmis-
sion.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a
hazardous atmosphere. Contact spark-
ing may occur while installing or remov-
ing batteries and cause an explosion.
Turn radio off when removing or installing a battery.
