RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information
and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use
NOTICE: 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 the occupational limits
in FCC and International standards. This radio device is NOT
authorized for general population consumer use.
This two-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 two-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 two-way radios. These
instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure
and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
