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)
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.
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, look in the appendix or
accessory section of your radio's User Guide.
NOTE:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts,
turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that
is sensitive to external RF energy.
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an
aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.
• Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of 6 inches (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.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters)
from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
•
not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
•
use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
•
turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
• Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
