SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR RADIO

The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety
information contained in user guides published prior to July 2000.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

6881040B40a.book Page 1 Friday, July 12, 2002 11:46 AM

• 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

6881040B40a.book Page 2 Friday, July 12, 2002 11:46 AM

DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the radio to operate at a higher power level than
needed.

Two-way Radio Operation
When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio in a
vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away
from the lips.

6881040B40a.book Page 3 Friday, July 12, 2002 11:46 AM

Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
standards compliance).

Data Operation

If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio, with or without an accessory
cable, position the radio and its antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from

the body.

• MEDICAL DEVICES

Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum

separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld
wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food
and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:

Safety and General Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio in the area where you drive.
Always obey them.
When using your radio while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

• Use hands-free operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.

6881040B40a.book Page 6 Friday, July 12, 2002 11:46 AM

storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS

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.
