RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions

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 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.

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.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations

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. 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 approved 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.

Two-Way Radio Operation

• 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. The PTT button may reside on the radio itself or may be hosted on
approved wired or wireless (for example, a Bluetooth enabled remote
Push-to-Talk button) accessories. 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).

• In front of the face. Hold the radio in a vertical position 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.
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important to ensure
compliance.

NOTE: RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.

• 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 non­Motorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed
the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.

• Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and
audio accessories. Use of non-Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and
wired or wireless accessories may exceed the applicable RF exposure
guidelines (iEEE, ICNIRP or FCC).
