Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations

The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from portable two-way radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits before portable two-way radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for occupational/ controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished by the use of labels, or by education and training through appropriate means, such as information and instructions in user manuals or safety booklets. Your Motorola two-way radio has an RF exposure information label in the battery compartment. This user safety booklet includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control your RF exposure.

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 RF electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the

IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at usage factors of up to 50% talk–50% listen. In

terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure guidelines,

your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.

NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty

cycle (5% talk–5% listen–90% standby), even though this radio complies with FCC occupational exposure limits at usage factors of up to 50% talk.

Your Motorola two-way radio 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 Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998

• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999

• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation – Human Exposure) 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 Operati ng Instruction s for Portable Two-Way Radios

To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/ controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures:

• Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the PushTo-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time or less is important since the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).

English

• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one to two inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) away from the lips. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna.

• For body-worn operation, always place the radio in a Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using non– Motorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.

• If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, ensure the antenna and the radio are kept one inch (2.5 centimeters) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna.

• Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non–Motorola-approved antennas, batteries and accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorolaapproved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following web site which lists approved accessories: http://www.motorola.com/cgiss/twowayradio.shtml
