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. For information
regarding radio use in a hazardous atmosphere please refer to the Factory
Mutual (FM) Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction Card, which is included
with radio models that offer this capability.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio operates in the frequency range of
462 MHz to 467 MHz. The output power level typically may vary over a range from
0.5 watts to 1.0 watt.
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
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the
United States, Report 86, 1986
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
ii
•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 Radio communications
(Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 1999
(applicable to wireless phones only)
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.
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.

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
iii
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 a body-worn
accessory, and are not using the radio held in the normal use position at the ear,
ensure the radio and its antenna are at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your
body when transmitting.
Data operation
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.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories visit our website at www.motorola.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.

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
iv
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 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
the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States
Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 centimeters) 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.
Hearing Aids
Some analogue 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.

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
v
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 radio 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 force. If a portable radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be
propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas
as "Intrinsically Safe." Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas.
Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
vi
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above
include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio
when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas
posted: “Turn off two-way radio.”Obey all signs and instructions.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
ANTENNAS
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
BATTERIES
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed
terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short
circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with
metal objects.
