Important Electromagnetic Emission Information 1; Control Station Operation - Motorola MCS 2000 User Manual

MCS 2000 Model I
Do not operate radio near
inflammable liquids or in the vicinity of
explosive devices
During normal use, the radio will subject you to radio
energy substantially below the level where any kind of
harm is reported.
To ensure personal safety, please observe the follow-
ing simple rules:
• DO NOT transmit when the antenna is very
close to, or touching, exposed parts of the
body, especially the face and eyes.
• DO NOT hold the transmit (PTT) key in when
not actually desiring to transmit.
• DO NOT allow children to play with any radio
equipment containing a transmitter.
• DO NOT operate radio while driving. It should
also be noticed that the use of a hand held
microphone while driving could constitute an
offence under the Road Traffic Regulation.
Important Electromagnetic Emission Information
In August, 1996, The Federal Communications Com-
mission (FCC) adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency electromag-
netic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment.
Motorola subscribes to this same updated safety
standard for the use of its products.
In keeping with sound installation practice and to
maximize radiation efficiency, a one-quarter (1/4)
wave length antenna should be installed at the center
of the vehicle roof. If it is necessary to mount the
antenna on the vehicle's trunk lid, an appropriate 3dB
gain antenna should be used. This installation proce-
dure will assure that vehicle occupants will be
exposed to radio frequency energy levels lower than
the limits specified in the standard adopted by the
FCC in General Docket 79144.
To assure that radio frequency (RF) energy exposure
to bystanders external to a vehicle is lower than that
recommended by FCC adopted standard, transmit
with any mobile radio only when bystanders are at
least two (2) feet away from a properly installed exter-
nally mounted antenna for radios with less than 50
watts of output power, or three (3) feet away for radios
with 50 watts or greater power.

Control Station Operation

In the event of Control Station operation, to assure
operators and bystanders are exposed to radio fre-
quency (RF) energy levels lower than the limits speci-
fied in the FCC adopted standard, the antenna should
be installed outside of any building, but in no instance
shall the antenna be within two feet (less than 50
watts power output) or within three feet (50 watts or
