BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS
SECTION WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE
USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS
AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE
WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN
APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
STANDARDS. ALSO READ THE OPERATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control
Information and Operational Instructions for
Occupational Use
Note: This radio is intended for use in occupational/
controlled conditions where users have full
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control
over their exposure to meet the occupational limits in
FCC/ICNIRP and International standards. This radio
device is NOT authorized for general population con-
sumer use
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the
radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications
between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio
frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive
calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy.
Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and
x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with
these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when
English 2
used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and
genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and
industry work with organizations to develop standards for
safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide
recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and
the general public. These recommended RF exposure
levels include substantial margins of protection.
All Motorola two-way radios are designed, manufactured,
and tested to ensure they meet government-established
RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-
way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform
users about RF energy exposure and provide simple
procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information
on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your
exposure to assure compliance with established RF
exposure limits:

Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
Regulations (US markets only)
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the
FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-way
radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-
way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the
FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control
their exposure to meet occupational requirements.
