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

(when the radio is not in Menu Mode)
Each button can access up to two features,
depending on the type of button press:

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

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).
