SAFETY AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
Read this information before using your phone.
Radio Operation
Your phone's radio component contains a transmitter and a receiver.
When it is ON, it receives, and also transmits, radio frequency (RF)
energy.
The radio operates in the frequency range of 806MHz to 866MHz, and
employs digital modulation techniques. When you use your radio, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your radio
transmits. The power level may typically vary over a range from 0.01 of
a watt to 0.6 of a watt.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies, as follows.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992)
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP-1986)
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNRP- 1986)
The design of your Motorola two-way radio complies with the FCC
guidelines and these standards.
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, follow the
operating procedures outlined below.
Efficient Radio Operation
The following practices will enable your radio to operate at the lowest
power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality.
When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group or private
call functions with the Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker icon
visible in the display), hold the radio as you would a telephone.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and over
your shoulder.
