Caution
Before using this radio, read this booklet which contains important operating
instructions.

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:
• https://www.fcc.gov/
• https://www.osha.gov/
• https://osha.europa.eu/en
• http://www.who.int/peh-emf/project/en/
For additional user training information on exposure requirements, consult the
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 Tables 1 and 2) 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). These lateral
distances, for single-band radios, depend on the radio rated power.

Notice: If you are not sure of the rated power of your single-band radio,
contact your Motorola Solutions representative or dealer and supply the
radio model number found on the radio model label. If you cannot
determine the rated power, then assure 3 ft (90 cm) separation for
bystanders from the body of the vehicle.
Table 2 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 multi-band mobile radio and associated antenna(s). These lateral
distances, for multi-band radios, depend on whether the radio is installed on a
motorcycle, or on other kinds of vehicles.

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
1
recommendations on radio installation.
Before installing the radio, determine the location of the vehicle electronic control
2
modules and their harnesses within the vehicle.
Route all radio wiring, including the antenna cable, as far away as possible from
3
the electronic control units and associated harnesses.
Notice to Users (FCC and Industry Canada)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada's licenseexempt RSS's per the following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
• Changes or modifications made to this device, not expressly approved by
Motorola Solutions, could void the authority of the user to operate this
equipment.
Operational Warnings
The following explains the operational warnings:
For Vehicle With Air Bags
Warning:
• Refer to vehicle manufacturer’s manual prior to installation of electronic
equipment to avoid interference with air bag wiring.
• DO NOT mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a radio
is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the
radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to
occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Warning:
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a potentially explosive
atmosphere could result in a serious injury or death. You should only
4
English
use a certified Intrinsically Safe radio in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
• Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard classified locations that may
contain hazardous gas, vapors, dusts, such as fueling areas below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transferor storage facilities, and 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.
• Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere unless it is a radio type specifically certified for use in
hazardous location areas.
• DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas, or remove
or install antennas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
Warning: To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off
your radio 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.
European Union(EU) Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Directive
The European Union's WEEE directive requires that products sold into EU
countries must have the crossed out trash bin label on the product (or the package
in some cases). As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross-out trash bin label
means that customers and end-users in EU countries should not dispose of
electronic and electrical equipment or accessories in household waste. Customers
or end-users in EU countries should contact their local equipment supplier
representative or service centre for information about the waste collection system in
their country.
