SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF MOTOROLA TWO-WAY RADIOS
This document provides information and instructions for the safe and efficient operation of Motorola Portable and
Mobile Two-Way Radios. The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information
contained in user guides published prior to 1 January 1998.
For information regarding radio use in hazardous areas, please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) approval manual
supplement.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY

Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
(EME), is designed to comply with the following National and International Standards and Guidelines regarding
exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
Federal Communications Commission Report and Order No. FCC 96-326 (August 1996)
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992)
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP-1986)
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP- 1986)
European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC):
- ENV 50166-1 1995 E
- ENV 50166-2 1995 E
- Proceedings of SC211/B 1996
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that your exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
MOBILE RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
Transmit only when people inside and outside the vehicle are at least the minimum distance away from a
properly installed, externally mounted antenna.
Table 1 below lists the minimum distance for several different ranges of rated radio power.
Rated Power of Vehicle-Installed
Mobile Two-Way Radio
7-15 Watts
16-50 Watts
More Than 50 Watts

MOBILE ANTENNA INSTALLATION

A vehicle antenna must be installed external to the vehicle and in accordance with:
The requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier
Instructions in the Radio Installation Manual
Human exposure to electromagnetic fields Low
frequency (0 Hz to 10 kHz)
Human exposure to electromagnetic fields High
frequency (10 kHz to 300 GHz)
"Safety Considerations for Human Exposure to EMFs from
Mobile Telecommunication Equipment (MTE) in the Fre-
quency Range 30MHz - 6 GHz." (EMF - Electro-Magnetic
Fields)
