SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR TWO-WAY RADIO
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides
published prior to July 2000. For information regarding radio use and hazardous atmosphere please refer to
the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction Card, which is included with radio
models that offer this capability.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF))
energy.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, is designed to comply with the following National and International Standards and
Guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations
(47 CFR part 2 sub-part J)
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic 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 Radio frequency Electromag-
netic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz (1999)
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Expo-
sure) Standard (1999) (applicable to wireless phones only)
PORTABLE RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
To assure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the two-way radio is "IN USE". Holding the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the radio to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Two-Way Radio Operation
When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with the
microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
