RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information,
and Operational Instructions for FCC Occupational Use
Requirements
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance.
It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF
energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not
limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with
these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can
cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage
tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These
standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the
general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial
margins of protection.
All Motorola two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure
they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers
also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These
instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure
and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and
can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This
radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer,
or any other use.

Please refer to the following Web sites for more information on what RF energy
exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits.

Federal Communication Commission Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy
exposure limits for mobile two-way radios before they can be marketed in the
U.S. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC
requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet
occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the
use of a label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your
Motorola two-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your Motorola
user manual, or separate safety booklet, includes information and operating
instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standard
Your Motorola two-way radio 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 complies
with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF
exposure environment at duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is
authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for
compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
