ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXPOSURE
THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RF ENERGY HAVE BEEN
STUDIED FOR YEARS. THERE ARE SOME CONFLICTING
RESULTS, BUT WE KNOW SOME THINGS.
RF ENERGY CAN CAUSE HEATING (MICROWAVE OVEN).
THE EYES AND HEAD ARE MOST SENSITIVE. STRONG RF
FIELDS CAN CAUSE CATARACTS.
THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT RF EXPOSURE
CAUSES CANCER - BRAIN OR OTHERWISE.

ASTRO®XTS™ 2500 Model III
ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXPOSURE
YOUR NEW RADIO TRANSMITS MUCH MORE POWER THAN
YOUR CELL PHONE (2.3W VERSUS 1W OR LESS).
THE FCC HAS REGULATED AND LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF
PERMISSIBLE OCCUPATIONAL RF EXPOSURE.
RF EXPOSURE DEPENDS UPON TWO VARIABLES.
1) INTENSITY OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
2) TIME SPENT IN THAT FIELD.
REDUCE EITHER ONE OF THESE AND YOU REDUCE YOUR
EXPOSURE.

REDUCE RF INTENSITY BY NOT CLOSE TALKING YOUR RADIO.
Motorola recommends holding
your radio 2” from your lips.

REDUCE RF INTENSITY BY NOT CLOSE TALKING YOUR RADIO.
The XTS2500 radios have very
sensitive and clear audio.
We recommend holding your
radio 6” from your lips.
Our tests show this cuts the
intensity to your eyes and head
to one-half the level when held
at 2”.

ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXPOSURE

REDUCE TIME IN THE RF FIELD BY USING SHORT, INFREQUENT
TRANSMISSIONS.
Especially avoid lengthy phone
conversations.

ASTRO®XTS™ 2500 Model III
EXPLOSIVE/ FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERES
YOUR XTS2500 PORTABLE RADIO IS NOT INTRINSICALLY
SAFE. NEITHER WAS YOUR LTS2000.
DO NOT TRANSMIT OR OPERATE IF YOU ARE IN AN
EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE. THE
SWITCHES IN YOUR RADIO MAY PRODUCE MINUTE
SPARKS WHICH COULD IGNITE THE ATMOSPHERE
SURROUNDING YOU.
DO NOT CHANGE BATTERIES IN AN EXPLOSIVE OR
FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE.
