Safety Information
RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios
ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before using the radio, read the RF Energy
Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios which contains important operating
instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for Compliance with applicable
standards and Regulations.
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following
website:
http://www.motorolasolutions.com
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-
approved antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum
gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Installation Requirements for Compliance with Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Exposure Safety Standards
CAUTION:
This radio is intended for use in occupational or controlled conditions, where users have full
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits.
This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use.
To ensure compliance to RF Energy Safety Standards:
• Install only Motorola Solutions approved antennas and accessories.
• Be sure that antenna installation is per Vehicle Antenna Installation.
• Be sure that Product Safety and RF Safety Booklet enclosed with this radio is available to
the end user upon completion of the installation of this radio.

directive
The European Union's WEEE directive requires that products sold into EU countries must have
the crossed out trash bin label on the product (or the package in some cases).
As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross-out trash bin label means that customers and end-users
in EU countries should not dispose of electronic and electrical equipment or accessories in household
waste.
Customers or end-users in EU countries should contact their local equipment supplier representative or
service centre for information about the waste collection system in their country.

NOTICE:
The system (SwMI) determines radio transmit and receive times, which affect the actual radio
operating time.
If the radio overheats (due to high ambient temperature or other factors), thermal protection will
reduce transmitter power, which may lead to loss of communication.
You can attach a colorful o-ring to a radio antenna to distinguish radios from one another.
An RFID knob is available as an optional accessory which allows tracking radios easily. The
knob contains an RFID tag which can be read by handheld scanners greatly enhancing the
speed of radio identification. The knob is a retrofit option and can replace an existing volume
knob.

result in significant range loss due to poor RF performance. You can identify the antenna
frequency range from the ring at the screw-in base of the antenna.
