RF Energy Exposure Awareness and
Control Information and Operational
Instructions for Occupational Use
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in
occupational/controlled conditions
where users have full knowledge of their
exposure and can exercise control over
their exposure to meet the occupational
limits in FCC and International
standards. This radio device is NOT
authorized for general population
consumer use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in
the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a
distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one
form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include,
but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy,
however, should not be confused with these other
forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used
improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and
genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and
industry work with organizations to develop standards
for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards
provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both
workers and the general public. These recommended
RF exposure levels include substantial margins of
protection.
All Motorola two-way radios are designed,
manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet
government-established RF exposure levels. In
addition, manufacturers also recommend specific

3English
operating instructions to users of two-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform
users about RF energy exposure and provide simple
procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more
information on what RF energy exposure is and how
to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits:

Federal Communication Commission
(FCC) Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with
the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-
way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S.
When two-way radios are used as a consequence of
employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware
of and able to control their exposure to meet
occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a product label directing
users to specific user awareness information. Your
Motorola two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product
Label. Also, your Motorola user manual, or separate
safety booklet includes information and operating
instructions required to control your RF exposure and
to satisfy compliance requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested
to comply with a number of national and International
standards and guidelines (listed below) for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy.

4
English
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and
ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/
controlled RF exposure environments at
operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen
and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use
only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance
with these exposure guidelines, your radio
generates measurable RF energy only while it is
transmitting (during talking), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this
radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5%
talk-5% listen-90% standby) even though this
radio complies with FCC occupational
exposure limits and may operate at duty
factors of up to 50% talk.
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the
following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations;
47 CFR et seq.
• FCC, OET Bulletin 65
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6
• Industry Canada RSS-102
• Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications Standard et seq.
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 et seq.

RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with
the occupational/controlled environment exposure
limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• DO NOT remove the RF Exposure Label from the
device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany
device when transferred to other users.
• DO NOT use this device if the operational
requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50%
of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-
Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the
PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less,
is important because this radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards
compliance).
Two-Way Radio Operation
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in
front of the face with the microphone
(and other parts of the radio
including the antenna) at least one
inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the
nose or lips. Antenna should be kept
away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a proper
distance is important since RF exposures decrease
with increasing distance from the antenna.

6
English
Body Worn Operation
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a
Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or
body harness for this product. Using approved
body-worn accessories is important because the
use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may
result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC
occupational/controlled environment RF exposure
limits.
• DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is
transmitting. Holding the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the radio product to operate at
higher power level than needed.
• DO NOT touch the metal surface of the antenna (in
extended position) when the radio is transmitting.
RF discomfort may result.
Approved Accessories
• Use only Motorola-approved supplied or
replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories.
Use of non-Motorola-approved antennas, batteries,
and accessories may exceed the FCC (IEEE) and
ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines.
• For a list of Motorola-approved accessories, visit
the following website, which lists approved
accessories for your radio model:

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.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on
board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline
crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
(AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a
handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with those of the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15
centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio
is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.

8
English
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
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.
Use of Communication Devices While Driving
Always check the laws and regulations on the use of
radios in the areas where you drive.
• 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 or regulations
so require.
Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended
periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect
your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less
time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes
undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
