Body-worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body when
transmitting, always place the radio in a Motorola approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body
harness for this product . Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do not use a Motorola approved body-worn accessory and are not using
the radio in the intended use positions along side of the head in the phone mode or in front
of the face in the two-way radio mode, then ensure the antenna and radio is kept the
following minimum distances from the body when transmitting:
• Phone or Two-way radio mode: one inch (2.5 centimeters)
• Data operation using any data feature with or without an accessory cable: one inch (2.5 centimeters)
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE". Holding the antenna affects call quality and
may cause the radio to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories look in the appendix or accessory section of your radio's User
Guide.

accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

(15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker.These
recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio
is turned ON.
