To assure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure
to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set
forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following
procedures.
Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure
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 the effective range.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliances with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always
place the radio in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster,
case or body harness for this product. Use of non-Motorola-approved
accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines.
If you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn
accessories and are not using the radio held in the normal use

position, ensure the radio and its antenna are at least 1 inch (2.5 cm)
from your body when transmitting.
Data Operation
If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio with or without
an accessory cable, position the radio and its antenna at least one
inch (2.5 cm) from the body .
Approved Accessories

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. This device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Facilities
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.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard on aircraft.
Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations
per airline crew instructions.
