N OTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above
include fueling areas such as: below decks on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or par-
ticles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY

Your Motorola two-way radio, which generates and radiates radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME), is designed to com-
ply with the following National and International Standards and
Guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Elec-
trical and Electrical 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
(ICNRP) 1998
•
National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom 1995
•
Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Fre-
quency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
•
Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 1999
(applicable to wireless phones only)
Turn off your two-way radio when you are in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations,
turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting
caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: "Turn off two-
way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.
