Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

National and international regulations require manufacturers to comply with the RF energy exposure limits for mobile two-way radios before they can be marketed. Your Motorola Solutions two-way radio is designed, manufactured, and tested to comply with all applicable national and international regulations for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, applicable regulations may require users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements.

RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

Notice: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions

where users are aware of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the requirements in national and international regulations. This radio device is not authorized for general population, consumer use.

For more information on what RF energy exposure is, and how to control your exposure to ensure compliance with established RF exposure limits, consult the following websites:

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines

To control exposure to yourself and others, and to ensure compliance with the relevant RF exposure limits, always adhere to the following guidelines:

Do not remove any of the RF Exposure Labels if present from this device or its

• related accessories.

• Attach these instructions to the device when you transfer it to other users.

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

Operating Instructions

• Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-ToTalk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting more than 50% of the time may cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

• Transmit only when people (bystanders) outside the vehicle are at least at the recommended minimum lateral distance (as shown in Table 1) away from the vehicle body. This separation will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed (according to the installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the relevant RF exposure limits.

• To ensure continued compliance with applicable RF exposure limits, use only Motorola Solutions approved, supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories.

• For a list of Motorola Solutions approved accessories please refer to your user manual or visit www.motorolasolutions.com

Table 1 lists the recommended lateral distance for bystanders from the body of a vehicle (For example, truck, van, car, motorcycle) equipped with an approved, properly installed single-band mobile radio and associated antenna(s).

Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines

Make sure to follow the antenna installation guidelines that are provided in this

• mobile radio installation manual.

• Use only Motorola Solutions approved supplied antenna, or a Motorola Solutions approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or

attachments could damage the radio and may result in non-compliance with RF Safety Standards.

Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed as Fixed Site Control Stations

If mobile radio equipment is installed and operated at a fixed location, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure optimal performance and compliance with applicable RF exposure limits.

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. Actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions may be required in order to ensure compliance with RF exposure limits.

Vehicles

To avoid possible interference between the radio transmitter and any vehicle electronic control modules, such as ABS, engine, or transmission control modules, your mobile radio should be installed only by an experienced installer, using the following precautions when installing the radio:

Refer to the manufacturer instructions or other technical bulletins for

recommendations on radio installation. Before installing the radio, determine the location of the vehicle electronic control

modules and their harnesses within the vehicle. Route all radio wiring, including the antenna cable, as far away as possible from

the electronic control units and associated harnesses.
