Transmit and Receive Procedure
Yourtwo-wayradiocontainsatransmitterandareceiver.Tocontrol yourexposureandensurecompliancewiththegeneral population/uncontrolledenvironmentexposurelimits,alwaysadhereto thefollowingprocedure:
•Transmitnomorethan50%ofthetime.
•Toreceivecalls,releasethePTTbutton.
•Totransmit(talk),pressthePushtoTalk(PTT)button.
Transmitting50%ofthetime,orless,isimportantbecausetheradio generatesmeasurableRFenergyexposureonlywhentransmitting(in termsofmeasuringstandardscompliance).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
YourMotorolatwo-wayradiocomplieswiththe followingRFenergyexposurestandardsandguidelines:

Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Antenna Care
Useonlythesuppliedoranapprovedreplacementantenna. Unauthorizedantennas,modifications,orattachmentscoulddamage theradioandmayviolateFCCregulations.
DoNOTholdtheantennawhentheradiois“INUSE.”Holdingthe antennaaffectstheeffectiverange.
Body-Worn Operation

IfyoudonotuseoneoftheMotorola-suppliedorapprovedbody-worn accessoriesandarenotusingtheradioheldinthenormaluse position, ensure the radio and its antenna are at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.
Data Operation
Ifapplicable,whenusinganydatafeatureoftheradiowithorwithout anaccessorycable, position the radio and its antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
