Safety and General Information
Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio
The information provided in this document supersedes the
general safety information contained in user guides
published prior to July 2000.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the
general population/uncontrolled environment exposure
limits, always adhere to the following procedure:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.
• To receive calls, release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because
the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only
when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards
compliance).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola radio is designed to comply with the
following national and international standards and
guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code
of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR 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 Electromagnetic
Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation -
Human Exposure) Standard 2003 (applicable to wireless
phones only)
• ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April
11, 2001) "additional requirements for SMR, cellular, and

Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC
regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE."
Holding the antenna affects the effective range.
Two-Way Radio Operation
When using your radio as a traditional
two-way radio, hold the radio in a vertical
position with the microphone one to two
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF
exposure guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body
when transmitting, always place the radio in a Motorola-
supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body
harness for this product. Use of non-Motorola-approved
accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF exposure
guidelines. If you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied
or approved body-worn accessories, and are not using the
radio held in the normal use position, ensure the radio and
its antenna are at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your body
when transmitting.
Data Operation
If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio with
or without an accessory cable, position the radio and its
antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.

Medical Devices - Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (15
cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and
a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by, and recommendations of the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 cm)
from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Medical Devices - Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the
area where you drive. Always obey them. When using your
radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call if driving conditions so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With An Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
