Safe And Efficient Operation of Motorola Two-Way Radios

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

National and International Standards and Guidelines
Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
(EME), is designed to comply with the following National and International Standards and Guidelines
regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
• Federal Communications Commission Report and Order No. FCC 96-326 (August 1996)
• 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)
• European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC):
• ENV. 50166-1
1995 E
• ENV. 50166-2
1995 E
• Proceedings of
SC211/8 1996

Radio Operation and EME Exposure

To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, transmit with any vehicular adapter with
an RFPA only when people inside and outside the vehicle are no closer than the distance shown in Table 1.
Note: Table 1 applies only to an XTVA with an RFPA. The power output of XTS radios ranges from
1 to 6 watts; MTP radios have a 1-watt output.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
