Safety Standards

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
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.
