Body-worn Operation
T o maintain compliance with FCC RF e xposure
guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body
when transmitting, always place the radio in
a
Motorola approved clip, holder, holster,
case, or body harness for this product
. Use
of non-Motorola-approved accessories may
exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.
If you
do not use a Motorola approved body-worn
accessory and are not using the radio in
the intended use positions along side of the
head in the phone mode or in front of the
face in the two-way radio mode, then
ensure the antenna and radio is kept the
following minimum distances from the
body when transmitting:
• Phone or Two-way radio mode: one inch
(2.5 centimeters)
• Data operation using any data feature with
or without an accessory cable: one inch
(2.5 centimeters)

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
Note:
Nearly every electronic device is
susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any
facility where posted notices instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that is sensitive to external
RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio
when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio
must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
• Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be
maintained between a handheld wireless
radio and a pacemaker.These recommendations are consistent with those of the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
SAFETY

English
SAFETY
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6
inches (15 centimeters) from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned
ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast
pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the e v ent 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 RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
SAFETY AND GENERAL
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
radios in the area where you drive. Always
obey them.
When using your radio 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.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere , unless
it is a radio type especially qualified for use in
such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for e xample ,
Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). Do
not remove, install, or charge batteries in such
areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note:
The areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres referred to abov e include
fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust or metal powders, and any
other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine. Areas with potentially explosiv e
atmospheres are often but not always
posted.
BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio when you are
near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,
or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions.

INTRINSICALLY SAFE RADIO INFORMATION
FMRC Approved Equipment
Anyone intending to use a radio in a location
where hazardous concentrations of flammable
material exist (hazardous atmosphere) is
advised to become familiar with the subject of
intrinsic safety and with the National Electric
Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection
Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified]
locations).
An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual
Research Corporation (FMRC), lists
manufacturers and the products approved by
FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has
also issued a voluntary approval standard for
repair service (“Class Number 3605”).
FMRC Approval labels are attached to the
radio to identify the unit as being FM Approved
for specified hazardous atmospheres. This
label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/
Group along with the part number of the
battery that must be used. Depending on the
design of the portable unit, this FM label can
be found on the back or the bottom of the radio
housing. The FM Approval mark is shown
below:
WARNINGS
•Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a
type especially qualified for
such use (e.g., FMRC
Approved). An explosion or fire may result.
• Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product
in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been
physically damaged (e.g., cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing batteries
and cause an explosion or fire.

• Do not disassemble an FMRC Approved
Product unit in any way that exposes the
internal electrical circuits of the unit.

WARNINGS
•Failure to use an FMRC
Approved Product unit with an
FMRC Approved battery or
FMRC Approved accessories
specifically approved for that
product may result in the dangerously
unsafe condition of an unapproved radio
combination being used in a hazardous
location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an
FMRC Approved Product unit will negate
the Approval rating of the product.

FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number
3605 is subject to change at any time without
notice to you, so you may want to obtain a
current copy of 3605 from FMRC. Per the
December 1994 publication of 3605, some key
definitions and service requirements are as

Items not considered as repairs are those in
which an action is performed on a unit which
does not require the outer casing of the unit to
be opened in a manner which exposes the
internal electrical circuits of the unit. You do not
have to be an FMRC Approved Repair Facility
to perform these actions.
Relabeling
The repair facility shall hav e a method by which
the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are
controlled to ensure that any relabeling is
limited to units that were originally shipped
from the Manufacturer with an FM Approval
label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not
be stocked by the repair facility. An FMRC
Approval label shall be ordered from the
original manufacturer, as needed, to repair a
specific unit. Replacement labels may be
obtained and applied by the repair facility,
provided there is satisfactory evidence that the
unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC
Approved unit. Verification may include, but is
not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval
label, a unit with a defective housing displa ying
an Approval label, or a customer invoice
indicating the serial number of the unit and
purchase of an FMRC Approved model.

Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola communications equipment
certified by Factory Mutual is tested as a
system and consists of the FM Approved
portable, FM Approved battery, and FM
Approved accessories or options, or both. This
FM Approved portable and battery
combination must be strictly observed. There
must be no substitution of items, even if the
substitute has been previously Approv ed with a
different Motorola communications equipment
unit. Approved configurations are listed in the
FM Approval Guide published by FMRC, or in
the product FM Supplement. This FM
Supplement is shipped from the manufacturer
with the FM Approved radio and battery
combination. The Approval Guide, or the
Approval Standard Class Number 3605
document for repairs and service, can be
ordered directly from Factory Mutual Research
Corporation located in Norwood,
Massachusetts.
