READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR
MOTOROLA TWO-WAY RADIO
The information provided in this document supersedes the general

Radio Frequency (RF) Operational Characteristics

To transmit (talk) you must push the Push-To-Talk button;
to receive (listen) you must release the Push-To-Talk button.
When the radio is transmitting, it generates radio frequency (RF)
energy; when it is receiving, or when it is off, it does not generate RF
energy.

Your Motorola 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):
