T6300 radios are durable two-way radios

companions. And, when you use the special
scrambling option, you can be sure that your
group’s communications stay private.

But, the T6300 radios offer more than just a
way of keep in touch. They also help you and
your group stay on schedule because a clock,
an alarm and a stopwatch is built into each
model.

The TalkAbout T6310 is a stylish, sophisticated two­way radio that offers FM stereo reception and weather
information. It’s fun and cool, a great accessory to take
to the beach.

The Talkabout T6320 is rugged and
sporty with special features to help you navigate the
great outdoors. In addition to weather information, it
offers a compass, an altimeter and a barometer.

Accessories ???

But, they all have something in common -- they are all
easy to use. Just take a few minutes to read this user’s gude and
you’re ready to go.

A detachable Quick Reference Card is on the back cover.

Using the NIMH Battery and Charger

Your T6300 two-way radio can use a variety of Motorola power acces­sories. See “Accessories on page XXX” for more information.

An NiMH battery kit, consisting of the NiMH battery, adapter and
charger, is included with some T6300 radios as well as sold sepa­rately as an accessory.

The (Nickle-Metal Hydride) NiMH rechargable battery provides about
11 hours of normal use. Charge it for at least five hours before using it
for the first time. The NiMH battery will only need 3 hours of charging
thereafter.

Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

The design of your Motorola two-way radio, which generates radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME), is designed to comply

n

with the following national and international standards and guidelines

o

i

regarding exposure to human beings to radio frequency electromag-

t
a

netic energy.

m
r

• FCC Report and Order FCC 96-325 (August, 1996)

o

f

• American National Standards Institute (C95-1 - 1992)

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements

63

y
t

e

f
a
S

(NCRP - 1986)

• International Commission On Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNRP - 1986.)

• European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CEN­ELEC)

- Env. 50166 - 1 1995E - Human Exposure to Electromag­netic Fields Low Frequency (0Hz to 10 kHz)

- Env. 50166 -2 1995E - Human Exposure to Electromagnetic
Fields High Frequency (10kHz to 300 kHz)

- Proceeding of SC211/8 1996 - Safety Considerations for
Human Exposure to EMFs from Mobile Telecommunica­tions Equipment (MTE) in the Frequency Range 30 MHz - 6
GHz (EMF - Electromagnetic Fields).

To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to
RF energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, the follow­ing operating procedures should be observed:

• When transmitting with a two-way portable radio, hold radio in a
vertical position with its microphone 2-3 inches (5.0 to 7.5 cm)
away from your mouth.

• Keep antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your head and body.

• If you wear a portable radio on your body, ensure that the antenna
is at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.

Electromagnetic Interference Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic

64

64

n
o

i
t

a
m

r
o

f
n

I
y

t
e

f
a
S

interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.

• Turn your radio OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

• Turn your radio off when on board aircraft when instructed to do
so. Any use of the radio must be in accordance with airline regula­tions or crew instructions.

Damaged Antennas

Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury or
burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded
chains touches exposed terminals. The 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

65

n
o

i
t

a
m

r
o

f
n

I
y

t
e

f
a
S

pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.

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 vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a type especially qualified for such use (for
example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Batteries

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmo­sphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing bat­teries and cause an explosion.

66

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your

radio OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instruc­tions.

Note: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not

n

always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck on

o

i

boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air con-

t
a

tains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

3. Do not disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or
has been dropped or damaged in any way.

4. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If plug will
not fit the outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electri­cian. An improper condition can result in a risk of electric shock.

5. To reduce risk of damage to cord or plug, pull the plug rather than
the cord when disconnecting charger from AC receptacle.

6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the
outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

7. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Motorola may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

8. Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress.

9. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely neces­sary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire and/or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used,
make sure:

• That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same

• That the cord size 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet, and 16 AWG
for lengths up to 150 feet.

10.The supply cord of this charger cannot be replaced. If the cord is
damaged, the charger should be discarded or returned to the
point of purchase if within 90 days of purchase.
