Driver Safety; Acoustic Safety - Motorola APX6000 User Manual

Vehicles
To avoid possible interaction between the radio transmitter and any vehicle
electronic control modules, such as ABS, engine, or transmission controls, the
radio should be installed only by an experienced installer and the following
precautions should be used when installing the radio.
1. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions or other technical bulletins for
recommendations on radio installation.
2. Before installing the radio, determine the location of the electronic control
modules and their harnesses in the vehicle.
3. Route all radio wiring, including the antenna transmission line, as far
away as possible from the electronic control units and associated wiring.

Driver Safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you
drive. Always obey them.
When using your radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.

Acoustic Safety

Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may
temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio's volume,
the less time is required before your hearing can be affected. Hearing damage
from loud noises is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative
effect.
To protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Increase the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Reduce the volume before connecting headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the
radio's speaker directly against your ear.
