Safety and General Information

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.
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.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To transmit (talk), you must
push the Talk button; to receive (listen), release the Talk button.
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
6881041B05a.book Page 1 Friday, July 12, 2002 1:22 PM

Safety and General Information
2
• 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
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz
to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 2001 (applicable
to wireless phones only)
• ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001)
“additional requirements for SMR, cellular and PCS product certification.”
To assure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above
standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
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.
6881041B05a.book Page 2 Friday, July 12, 2002 1:22 PM

Safety and General Information
3
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the radio to operate at a higher power level than
needed.
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) away from your
body when transmitting.
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), push the Talk button.
• To receive calls, release the Talk button.
6881041B05a.book Page 3 Friday, July 12, 2002 1:22 PM

Safety and General Information
4
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).
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) away from
the body.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories visit our website at www.mot.com.
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.
