Important 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-approved antennas, batteries, and
other accessories, visit the following website:
http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX
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 the Motorola-approved antenna
types with the maximum permissible gain and required
antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included, having a gain greater than
the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.

Selon la règlementation d'Industrie Canada, cet émetteur
radio ne peut être utilisé qu'avec une antenne dont le
type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) sont approuvés par
Industrie Canada pour cet émetteur. Afin de limiter les
interférences radio pour les
autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l'antenne doivent
être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas plus forte qu'il
ne le faut pour établir la communication.
Le présent émetteur a été approuvé par Industrie Canada
pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne agréés par
Motorola et ayant un gain admissible maximal ainsi que
l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne indiqué.
Les types d'antenne non inclus, dont le gain est supérieur
au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour
l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
