Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PERSONAL
COMMUNICATOR
The information provided in this document supersedes the general
safety information contained in user guides published prior to
October 2002.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your Personal Communicator contains a transmitter and a receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
energy.
When you communicate with your Personal Communicator, the
system handling your call controls the power levels at which your
personal communicator transmits.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Personal Communicator is designed to comply with
the following national and international standards and guidelines
regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency energy:
•United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J

10 - Safety and General Information
•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
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
•National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom
1995
•Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
•Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard
1999 (applicable to wireless phones only)
To assure optimal performance and make sure human exposure to
radio frequency energy is within the guidelines set forth in the
above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
Portable Personal Communicator Operation
and Radio Frequency Energy Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the Personal Communicator and may violate FCC and/or
other applicable regulations and standards.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the Personal Communicator is “IN
USE”. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
Personal Communicator to operate at a higher power level than
needed.
