ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXP OSURE
THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RF ENERGY HAVE BEEN
STUDIED FOR YEARS. THERE ARE SOME CONFLICTING RESULTS, BUT WE KNOW SOME THI NGS .
RF ENERGY CAN CAUSE HE AT ING (MICROWAVE O VEN).
THE EYES AND HEAD ARE MOST SENSITIVE. STRONG RF
FIELDS CAN CAUSE CATARACTS.
THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT RF EXPOSURE
CAUSES CANCER - BRAI N OR OTHE RWIS E .

Page 8
ASTRO® XTS™ 2500 Model III
ELECTROMAGNETIC (RF) EXP OSURE
YOUR NEW RADIO TRANSMITS MUCH MORE P OWER THAN
YOUR CELL PHONE (2.3W VERSUS 1W OR LESS).
THE FCC HAS REGULATED AND LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF
PERMISSIBLE OCCUPATIONAL RF EXPOSURE.
RF EXPOSURE DEPENDS UPON TWO VARIABLES.
1) INTENSITY OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
2) TIME SPENT IN THAT FIELD.
REDUCE EITHER ONE OF THESE AND YOU REDUCE YOUR
EXPOSURE.

REDUCE RF INTENSITY BY NOT CLOSE TALKING YOUR RADIO.
Motorola recommends holding your radio 2” from your li ps .

REDUCE RF INTENSITY BY NOT CLOSE TALKING YOUR RADIO.
The XTS2500 radios have very sensitive and clear audio.
We recommend holding your radio 6” from your lips.
Our tests show this cuts the intensity to your eyes and head to one-half the level when held at 2”.

REDUCE TIME IN THE RF FIELD BY USING SHORT, INFREQUENT TRANSMISSIONS.
Especially avoid lengthy phone conversations.

EXPLOSIVE/ FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERES
YOUR XTS2500 PORTABLE RADIO I S NOT I NTRINS I CALLY
SAFE. NEITHER WAS YOUR LTS2000.
DO NOT TRANSMIT OR OPE RATE IF YO U ARE IN AN
EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE. THE SWITCHES IN YOUR RADIO MAY PRODUCE MINUTE SPARKS WHICH COULD IGNITE THE ATMOSP HERE SURROUNDING YOU.
DO NOT CHANGE BATTERIES IN AN EXPLOSIVE OR
FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE .

Universal Connector Cover
The universal connector cover protects the side connector near the antenna.
To remove the cover:
1. Turn the radio off.
2. Carefully insert a flat-bladed screwdriver between the bottom of the cover and the connector.
3. Holding the top of the cover with your thumb, push the screwdriver gently downward and lever the cover away from the radio.
To install the cover:
1. Turn the radio off.
2. Insert the hooked end of the cover into the slot above the connector.
3. Rub the ball of your thumb from the top to the bottom of the cover, applying pressure towards the radio. This will flex the cover and snap it into place.

To install the belt clip:
1. Remove battery before installing or removing the belt clip.
2. Hold the battery with the back of the battery facing you.
3. Hold the belt clip with the top facing upward, and align the clip with the slots on the battery back.
4. Slide the belt clip downward into the slots until it clicks into place.
To remove the belt clip:
1. Pull away the metal tab at the top of the battery clip from the battery.
2. Slide the clip upward until it comes away from the radio.

Charging the Battery
The battery must be charged before use. Memory effect is a phenomenon that causes a loss in battery capacity or voltage due to repetitive shallow discharging or long-term overcharging. This memory effect has been greatly reduced in your batteries through the use of new cell technology. It is still recommended, however, that you discharge your battery as much as possible before recharging it (listen for the ‘chirp’). Recharging after each shift is good standard practice, although if you only listen you may get up to three days before charging. When charging a battery that is attached to your radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
NOTE: We have given the battery installed in your radio
its initial charge. You must charge the spare battery before use.

ASTRO® XTS™ 2500 Model III

Charging the Battery – More…
1. The Impres charger and battery are both smart; they talk to each other.
2. Don’t try to charge your battery on a non-Impres charger.
3. The Impres battery has a preset number of charges it can accept. When that number is reached, the battery is deactivated and becomes a brick. Each full charge (charger LED on solid green) increments the counter and pushes it closer to ‘brick’ status. Even so, you should get 2.5-3 years out of your two batteries of y ou alternate them charging each every other day .
4. As you will see later, you can check the remaining capacity of your battery and the estimated number of charges it has had.
