Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR HANDHELD DATA
TERMINAL.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your data terminal contains a radio frequency transmitter to convey the information
you wish to send as well as occasional automatic signals used to sustain connection
to the wireless network, and a receiver which enables you to receive communication
and connection information from the network.
For data radio terminals that have been approved as intrinsically safe, read the instructions and information on intrinsic safety in this booklet.
PORTABLE RADIO PRODUCT OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
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 (EME):
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to
Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the F requency Range from 3 kHz
to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radio communications (Electromagnetic
Radiation - Human Exposur e) Standard 2003.
• ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) "additional requirements for SMR, cellular and PCS product certification."
To assure optima l radio product pe rformance an d make sure human ex posure
to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in
the above standards, always adher e to the following procedures:
Body-worn operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a radio product on your body when transmitting, always place the radio product in a Motorola
approved holster or carry case for this product. When placing your data terminal in a carry case approved for body-worn applications for this device, it
must be inserted with the display facing away from the user's body. Use of
non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For additional information on RF exposure awareness information, visit the following
Motorola website: www.mot.com/rfhealth.
Electro Magnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromag-
netic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or
otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio data terminal 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 data terminal when on board an aircraft.
Any use of a radio data terminal must be in accordance with applicable regulations
per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio data terminal and a pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio data terminal more than 6 inches (15 centimeters)
from their pacemaker when the radio data terminal is turned ON.
• Do not carry the radio data terminal in the breast pocket.
• Turn the radio data terminal OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radio data terminals 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 RF energy. Your physician may
be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio products 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 of f the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio product in the area over the 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 product may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio data terminal prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio data terminal
type especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically
Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). Do
not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a
potentially explosive atm osphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fueling areas such as
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage f acilit ies, areas where t he air c ontai ns
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off
your data radio terminals 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.
Operational Cautions
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury, such
as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded
chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive 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 pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
