BEFORE USING THIS RADIO READ THIS INFORMATION WHICH CONTAINS
IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF
ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE
WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
The information provided in this document supersedes information contained in user guides,
manuals and other documentation published prior to February 2002.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and Operational
Instructions for FCC Occupational Use Requirements.
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 FCC/ICNIRP lim-
its. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer or any other use.
This 2-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 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 2-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 2-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 Web sites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how
to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits.
