Fcc Safety Standards - Motorola Astro Digital Saber II User Manual

FCC Safety Standards

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General
Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985, has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated equipment. Motorola subscribes to the same safety standard for the
use of its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in user exposure
substantially below FCC recommended limits:
• Do not hold the radio with the antenna very close to, or touching,
exposed parts of the body, especially the face, ears, or eyes, while
transmitting. Hold the radio in a vertical position with the
microphone two to three inches away from the lips.
• Do not hold the transmit switch (PTT) on when
not actually desiring to transmit.
• Do not allow children to play with any radio
equipment containing a transmitter.
• Do not operate radio transmitters near explosive
blasting caps.The transmitted radio energy may
trigger a blasting cap and cause an explosion.
• Do not operate radio transmitters in an explosive atmosphere unless
it is a type especially qualified for such use. An explosion may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries
and cause an explosion.
• Turn radio off when removing or installing a battery.
Anyone intending to use a radio in a hazardous area is advised to become
familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and with Section 70 of the
National Fire Code, which is commonly referred to as Article 500 of the
National Electric Code. Use of anything but factory supplied components
may affect the approval and safety of the radio. Likewise, it is advised that
servicing should be performed only by qualified personnel who adhere to the
following Factory Mutual (FM) required warning:
Modification of FM approved intrinsically safe radios will negate
Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC) approval.
Because this radio contains a transmitter, federal law prohibits unauthorized,
non-licensed personnel from adjusting or maintaining it. If any operational
difficulties should arise while using this product, report them to authorized
service personnel as soon as possible.
Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio.
