SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Information and Instructions on RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety
READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE
INSTALLING AND USING YOUR MOTOROLA MOBILE TWO-WAY RADIO IN A VEHICLE OR AS
A CONTROL STATION.
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits at duty
cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and should be used for occupational use only. In terms of
measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening)
or in standby mode.
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part
2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio frequency Elec-
tromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation -
Human Exposure) Standard 2001
• ANATEL, Brazil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) "additional requirements
for SMR, cellular and PCS product certification."
Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the above
standards and guidelines, users should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere to
the following procedures:
Transmit and Receive
• To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to receive, release the PTT button.
• Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the minimum lateral distance away,
as shown in Table 1, from a properly installed, externally-mounted antenna.
