PRODUCT SAFETY AND RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE

Before using this radio, read the operating instructions for safe usage contained in the Product

C a u t i o n

This radio is restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements. Before using this product, rea d

the RF energy awareness information and operating instructions in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio (Motorola Publication part number 68P81095C98) to ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.

For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following web site which lists approved accessories: http://www.motorola.com/cgiss/ index.shtml.

Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio.

ATTENTION!

This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (NICd), nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH), or lithiumion rechargeable battery. Charge the battery before use to ensure opt imum capacity and performance. The battery was designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger. Charging in non-Motorola equipment m ay lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.

Note: When charging a battery attached to a

radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (bel ow 50° F [10°C] ) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperaturesensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.

Programmable Buttons

Several of your radio’s buttons can be programmed by your dealer as shortcut buttons for many of the radio’s features.

Check with your dealer for a complete list of functions your radio supports.

Programmable buttons include:

• the three Side Buttons (A, B, C) and the Top Button (D)

• the three lower Menu Keys (P1, P2, P3) (when the radio is not in Menu Mode)

Each button can access up to two features, depending on the type of button press:

• short press—quickly pressing and releasing the programmable buttons, or

• long press—pressing and holding the programmable buttons for a period of time (at least 1 1/2 seconds), or

• hold down—pressing and holding down the programmable buttons while checking status or making adjustments.

The table on pages 10 and 9 summarizes the programmable features available and shows the page number where the feature is explained.

In the “Button” column, have your dealer write down the programmable buttons next to the features that have been programmed to them.

Use the abbreviations (e.g., A for Side Button 1, D for Top Button, etc.) shown in the radio illustration at the front of this manual.

Also, where a choice exists, have your dealer indicate whether the button press is short press (SP) or long press (LP).
