SAFETY AND GENERAL
INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND

EFFICIENT OPERATION.

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR

INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE PORTABLE RADIO.

For the Safe and Efficient Operation of Your Radio,
Observe These Guidelines:

Your radio product 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 806 MHz to 870 MHz and employs
digital modulation techniques. When you communicate with your radio
product, the system handling your call controls the power level at which
your radio product transmits. The output power le vel typically may v ary
over a range from 0.00024 watts to 0.6 watts.

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola Radio Product 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) IEEE. C95. 1-1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP). Report 86

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1998

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom,
GS 11, 1988

• Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848

• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

Safety and General Information

To assure optimal radio product 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:

When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group and private
call functions with a Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker icon
visible in the display), hold your radio product as you would a
telephone. Speak directly into the microphone and position the antenna
up and over your shoulder.

When using your radio product as a traditional
two-way radio while making group or priv ate calls
with the Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker
icon visible in the display), hold the radio product
in a vertical position with the microphone one to
two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.

For body-worn operation, with or without an
earpiece or any other accessory , the antenna should
be kept at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body
when transmitting. A Motorola plastic carry holder with a belt clip is
available as an accessory to this radio product for body-worn use.

When using any data feature of the radio product, with or without an
accessory cable, position the antenna of the radio product at least one
inch (2.5 cm) from the body.

DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Holding the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate
at a higher power level than needed.

Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices

Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
radio product.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio product more than six inches from the
pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.

• Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.

• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.

• Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

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 external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Turn your radio product OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.

Interference to Other Electronic Devices

RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these
systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also check
with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the
vehicle.

Turn your radio product OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent
possible interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United
States Federal Communications Commission prohibit use when the
plane is airborne. The United States Department of Transportation
regulations require you have permission from a crew member to use
your radio product while the plane is on the ground.

Safety and General

Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
area where you drive. Always obey them.

When using the radio product 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.
