Product Safety and RF Exposure for Portable Two-Way Radios

BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS BOOKLET WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERAT-
ING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFOR-
MATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL
AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
The information provided in this document supersedes the general information contained in user
guides published prior to February 2002.
For radios that have been approved as intrinsically safe, read the instructions and information on
intrinsic safety.
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled applications where users
have been made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over
their exposure. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population,
consumer or similar use.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations
The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from portable
two-way radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure
limits before portable two-way radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are
approved for occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be
fully aware of, and exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can
be accomplished by the use of labels, or by education or training through appropriate means, such
as information and instructions in user manuals or safety booklets.
Your Motorola two-way radio has an RF exposure information label in the battery compartment. This
user safety booklet includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how
to control your RF exposure.
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits
for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at usage factors of up to 50% talk–
50% listen. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure guidelines, your
radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it
is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
NOTE:The approved batteries, supplied with the portable radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle
(5% talk–5% listen–90% standby), even though this radio complies with FCC occupational
exposure limits at usage factors of up to 50% talk.
