NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in

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.

occupational /controlled conditions, where
users have full knowledge of their
exposure and can exercise control over
their exposure to meet FCC/ICNIRP
limits. This radio device is NOT
authorized for general population,
consumer or any other use.

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and
industry work with organisations 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.
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 Communications Commission Regulations (US markets only)

The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with
the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile two­way 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 an RF exposure product label. Do
not remove this RF exposure label from the device.
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 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 IEEE and ICNIRP
exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF
exposure environments at duty factors of up to
50% talk – 50% listen and is authorised by the
IEEE/ICNIRP for occupational use only.

In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with
these 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.

Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the
following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations;
47 CFR et seq.

• FCC, OET Bulletin 65

• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)

• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6

• Industry Canada RSS-102

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions

To control exposure to yourself and others and to
ensure compliance with the RF exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedures.

Guidelines:

• User awareness instructions should accompany
device when transferred to other users.

• Do not use this device if the operational
requirements described herein are not met.

Instructions:

• Transmit no more that the rated duty factor of
50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-

To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the
PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is
important because this radio generates measurable
RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in
terms of measuring for standards compliance).

• Transmit only when people outside the vehicle

are at least the recommended minimum lateral
distance away, as shown in Table 1, from the
body of a vehicle with a properly installed
antenna. This separation distance will ensure that

there is sufficient distance from a properly installed
(according to installation instructions) externally­mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure
requirements in the standards listed above.

NOTE: Table 1 lists the recommended lateral

distance for bystanders in an uncontrolled
environment from the body of a vehicle with
an approved, properly installed transmitting
antenna (i.e monopoles over a ground plane,
or dipoles) for mobile radios installed in a
vehicle.

Table 1 Recommended Minimum Lateral Distance

from Vehicle Body

Minimum Lateral Distance from Vehicle Body

3 feet (90 centimeters)

Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines

• These mobile antenna installation guidelines are
limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles
with appropriate ground planes.

• Antennas should be installed in the centre area of
the roof or the trunk lid taking into account the
bystander exposure conditions of backseat
passengers and according to the specific
instructions and restrictions in the Radio
Installation Manual along with the requirements of
the antenna supplier.

• Trunk lid installations are limited to vehicles with
clearly defined flat trunk lids, and in some cases, to
specific radio models and antennas. See the Radio
Installation Manual for specific information on how
and where to install specific types of approved
antennas to facilitate recommended operating
distances to all potentially exposed persons.

• Use only Motorola-approved supplied antenna
or a Motorola approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the radio and may
result in non-compliance with RF Safety Standards.

Approved Accessories

• This radio has been tested and meets the RF
Safety Standards when used with the Motorola
accessories supplied or designated for this product.
Use of other accessories may result in non­compliance with RF Safety Standards.

Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions for Mobile Two­Way Radios Installed as Fixed Site
Control Stations

If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed
location and operated as a control station or as a fixed
unit, the antenna installation must comply with the
following requirements in order to ensure optimal
performance and compliance with the RF energy
exposure limits in the standards and guidelines listed
on on page 3.

• The antenna should be mounted outside the
building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.

• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the
responsibility of the licensee to manage the site in
accordance with applicable regulatory requirements
and may require additional compliance actions
such as site survey measurements, signage, and
site access restrictions in order to insure that
exposure limits are not exceeded.
