Important Notice for North American Users Regarding 406 MHz Guard Band
The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration have requested the cooperation
of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in preserving the integrity of the protected frequency range 406.0
to 406.1 MHz, which is reserved for use by distress beacons. Do not attempt to program this apparatus, under any
circumstances, for operation in the frequency range 406.0 - 406.1 MHz if the apparatus is to be used in or near North
America.
Warning - Frequency band 406 - 406.1 MHz is reserved for use ONLY as a distress beacon by the US Coast Guard
and NOAA. Under no circumstance should this frequency band be part of the pre programmed operating frequencies
of this radio.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
r
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
r

ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product
Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy
awareness and control for Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations.
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved antennas and other accessories, visit the following website:
http://www.motorolasolutions.com
Any modication to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola Solutions, may void the user’s authority to operate
this device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-approved antenna with the
maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in
this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Belt Clip Installation
Align the tab in the upper side of the Belt Clip to the slot
on the transceiver, and then secure the Belt Clip by tightening the belt clip screw to the radio chassis with a Phillips head screwdriver.
Antenna Installation
Hold the bottom end of the antenna, then screw it onto the
mating connector on the transceiver until snug. Do not
over-tighten with extreme force.
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.

BefOre yOu Begin
Battery Charging
Turn the transceiver off.
r
Open the Rubber Cover of the USB Jack.
r
Insert the Micro USB plug from the optional Power
r
Supply Adapter into the Micro USB jack on the transceiver, and then connect the Power Supply Adapter to
the AC line outlet.
If the battery pack is installed correctly, the LED in-
r
dicator on the top of the transceiver will glow red and
the charging starts. A fully-discharged battery pack
will charge completely in 1.5 - 4.5 hours.
When charging is completed, the LED
r
indicator will turn off.
AC Line Out
Turn the transceiver off
AC Adapter
Micro USB jack
Disconnect the Micro USB plug from the transceiver
r
and close the Rubber Cover of the USB Jack.
Unplug the Power Supply Adapter from the AC line
r
outlet.
1) Turn the transceiver off, when charging the
battery.
2) Always use the Motorola Solutions BT100X LithiumIon Battery Pack.
3) Batteries carry a risk of explosion if replaced by an
incorrect type.
4) Use only the Motorola Solutions Power Supply Adapter, or Motorola Solutions approved Charger.
5) Do not connect the USB charger other than Power
Supply Adapter, as cause to damage the battery and
transceiver.
6) Motorola Solutions prohibits the battery charge with a
combination of the common Micro USB cable and USB
power supply.
7) To reduce the risk of explosion, recharge the batteries
outside of hazardous locations.
8) Perform the battery charging where the ambient temperature range +41 °F to +104 °F (+5 °C to +40 °C).
Charging outside of this temperature range could cause
damage to the battery pack.
9) The Battery Pack should not be exposed to excessive

heat such as sunshine, re, or similar heat sources.
10) This transceiver does not keep the Dust- and Waterproof rating (IP67) when the Rubber Cover is not secured over the USB jack.
Low Battery Indication
As the battery discharges during use, the voltage gradually
becomes lower. When the battery voltage becomes too
low, substitute a freshly charged battery and recharge the
depleted pack. The LED indicator on the top of the radio
will blink red when the battery voltage is low.
You may confirm the battery condition by the Battery
Gauge on the display. See page 8 for more information.
