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 using 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.

When using any data feature of the radio product with an accessory
cable, do not use the leather carry case for body-worn operation.

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.
