Developer Board Safety
Developer Board Safety
Precautions
Most Developer Board circuits are not shielded. Be sure to take appropriate precautionary
measures in order to avoid ESD while handling the kit. ESD can damage the Developer Board
and/or the G24 module attached to it.
User Operation
Do not operate your unit when a person is within eight inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna. A
person or object within eight inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna could impair call quality and
may cause the unit to operate at a higher power level than necessary, as well as expose that person
to RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
Important: The unit must be installed in a manner that provides a minimum separation distance
of eight inches (20 centimeters) or more between the antenna and persons and must
not be co-located or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter in
order to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices.
Contact Us
Important: T o comply with the FCC RF exposure limits and to satisfy the categorical exclus ion
requirements for mobile transmitters, the requirements described in the following
section, “Antenna Installation” , must be met.
Antenna Installation
• A minimum separation distance of eight inches (20 centimeters) must be maintained between
the antenna and all persons.
• The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +7.5 dBi (850 band). The
combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +2.5 dBi and total system output must
not exceed 2.0W EIRP in the PCS (1900) band in order to comply with the EIRP limit of
24.232 (b). OEM installers must be provided with antenna installation instru ction and
transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Motorola Workflow
The help desk uses the following workflow when responding to new calls:
1. Each new call is registered in the help desk data base.
2. The help desk immediately notifies the customer with the help desk system record number
for each issue.
3. A champion is assigned to be responsible for the new call, from arrival to closing.
4. During this time, the champion updates the help desk system with the progress of the
resolution process.
5. The champion is the contact to the customer and the engineering team, and coordinates
activities that are required to solve the problem.
