Important Safety Information

draft

Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance

Before using this product, read the operating instructions for safe usage contained in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio.

ATTENTION!

This radio is restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements.

Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness information and operating instructions in the XPR 7150 SeriesPortable Radio Regulatory Compliance and Product Safety / Quick Reference Guide (Motorola Publication part number 68009511001) to ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.

For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following website:

http://www.motorolasolutions.com

Important Safety Information

Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola, may void the user’s authority to operate this device.

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-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.

Firmware Version

All the features described in the following sections are supported by the radio's software version R02.06.10.

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more details for all the features supported.

Handling Precautions

draft

The MOTOTRBO XPR 3300 Portable Radio meets IP55 specifications with antenna attached, allowing the radio to withstand adverse field conditions such as being used in rain or dusty environment.

• If the radio has been exposed to water or rain, shake the

radio well to remove any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille, port and aesthetic cover (if applicable). Trapped water in speaker grille and port could cause decreased audio performance. If aesthetic cover is attached onto radio, trapped water in aesthetic cover could cause corrosion on the slim connector interface gold contacts.

• If the radio’s battery contact area has been exposed to water,

clean and dry battery contacts on both the radio and the battery before attaching the battery to the radio. The residual water could short-circuit the radio.

• If the radio has been exposed to corrosive substance

(e.g.saltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water then dry the radio and battery.

• To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a diluted

solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one gallon of water).

• The radio with antenna attached properly is designed to be

Handling Precautions

protected against dust and low pressure jets of water projected with nozzle 6.3mm diameter at flow rate of

12.5 l/min, with water pressure at 30 kN/m2 and from a

viii

distance of 2.5m to 3m for at least 3 min. Exceeding either

English

maximum limit or use without antenna may result in damage to the radio.

• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high pressure jet spray

on the radio as this may cause to leak.

Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Radio maintenance should only be done in service depot that is equipped to test and replace the seal on the radio.
