People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) 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 there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Medical Devices – 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.
Medical Devices-other
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in the area
where you drive, and always obey them. If you do use your radio while
driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
The use of a two-way radio while engaged in activities requiring concentration
may cause distraction or otherwise impair your ability to safely participate in
such activities. Always use technology safely.
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable
radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates,
the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to
occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified should be used
in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove, install or charge
batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above
include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such
as grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often—but not always—posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when
you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn
off two-way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as
burns if a conductive material—like jewelry, keys or beaded chains—
touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in
handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do not use sharp or
conductive tools to remove either of these batteries.
Battery Charger Safety Instructions:
Save these Instructions
1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, or has been dropped or damaged in any way.
3. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. An improper condition can result in a risk of electric
shock.
4. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug rather
than the cord when disconnecting the charger from the AC receptacle.
5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
6. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Motorola may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
7. Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over
or subjected to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of a fire
and/or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure
that:
• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size
and shape as those on the plug of the charger.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• The cord size is 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet, and 16 AWG for
lengths up to 150 feet.
9. The supply cord of this charger cannot be replaced. If the cord is
damaged, please refer to Warranty section.
