BEFORE USING THIS RADIO TERMINAL, READ THIS BOOKLET WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ST AN­DARDS.
The information provided in this document supersedes information contained in user guides published prior to February 2003.
For radio terminals that have been approved as intrinsically safe, read the instruc­tions and information on intrinsic safety in this booklet.
Caution: changes or modifications made in the radio terminal, not expressly ap-
proved by Motorola, will void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This radio terminal is intended for use in a business environment.
Federal Communication Commission Regulations:
The FCC established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from portable two-way radio terminals. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits before portable two-way radio terminals can be market­ed in the U.S.
This user safety booklet includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control your RF exposures.
Your Motorola two-way radio terminal is designed and tested to comply with a num­ber of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio terminal complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for general population exposure RF exposure environment. This radio terminal complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference re­ceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio terminal radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting, not when it is receiving or in standby mode.
Your Motorola two-way radio terminal complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• 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 Comm ission on N on- Ion izi ng Radia t ion Protecti o n (ICNI RP ) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fi elds in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radio communications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposur e) Standard 2001.
• ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001) "addi­tional requirements for SMR, cellular and PCS product certification."
Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for portable two-way radio terminals
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the applicable exposure environment limits always adhere to the following Procedures.
• If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio termi-
68P02966C56-B Please retain for future use
nal in the intended use position, then ensure the antenna and the radio terminal are kept 2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when in use. Keeping the radio terminal at a proper distance is important because of RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna.
• Use only Motorola approved supplied or replacement batteries, and accesso­ries. Use of non-Motorola-approved, batteries and accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For additional information on RF exposure awareness information, visit the following Motorola website: www.mot.com/rfhealth.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note:Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic 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 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 terminal when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio 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 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 terminal more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio terminal is turned ON.
• Do not carry the radio terminal in the breast pocket.
• Turn the radio terminal OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radio 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 medica l 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.
Operational Warnings
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 terminal is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio terminal may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio terminal prior to entering any area with a poten­tially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio 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 atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above 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. 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 radio terminal when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio termi­nal." Obey all signs and instructions.
