SAFETY AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT! Read this information before using your
phone.
RADIO OPERATION
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it
receives, and also transmits, radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio
operates in the frequency range of 806MHz to 866MHz, and
employs digital modulation techniques. When you use your radio,
the system handling your call controls the power level at which your
radio transmits. The power level may typically vary over a range
from 0.01 of a watt to 0.6 of a watt.
•Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards* previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of your Motorola two-way radio complies with
the FCC guidelines and these standards.
*American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992)
*National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP-1986)
*International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNRP- 1986)
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to
RF energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, follow
the operating procedures outlined below.
Safety annd General
•Efficient Radio Operation
The following practices will enable your radio to operate at the
lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality.
When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group or private
call functions with the Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker
icon visible in the display), hold the radio as you would a telephone.
GETTING STARTED

Page 45
Speak directly into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and
over your shoulder.
When using the radio as a traditional two-way
radio while making group or private calls with the
Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker icon
visible in the display), hold the radio in a vertical
position with the microphone one to two inches
Safety and General
away from the lips.
For body-worn operation, the antenna should be
kept at least one inch from the body when transmitting.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”.
Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio to
operate at a higher power level than needed.
•Antenna Considerations
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the radio, or result in violation of ICNRP or FCC
regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If
a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
!
skin, a minor burn may result.
C a u t i o n
•Interference to Medical and Personal
Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
RF energy from the radio transmitter may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.
Consult the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal electronic
device(s) (for example, a pacemaker or a hearing aid) to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals and health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.

Page 46
•Interference to Other Electronic
Devices
RF energy may affect improperly or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these
systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also
check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added
to the vehicle.
Turn your radio OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent
possible interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United
States Federal Aviation Administration prohibit use when the plane
is in the air and require that you have permission from a crew
member to use your radio while the plane is on the ground.
•Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or
burns if a conductive material such as jewelry,
keys, or beaded chains touch the exposed

terminals. The material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite
hot. Exercise care in handling any charged
battery, particularly when placing it inside your
pocket, purse or other container. To protect
against a short circuit when the battery is
detached from the phone, keep the battery in the
insulated protective case provided with the
battery.
Safety and General
•Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them.
When using the phone while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving and to the road;
• use hands-free operation, if available; and
!
• pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so require.

could damage the radio, or make calls that

DO NOT operate your radio near electric blasting

of triggering an explosion. Turn your radio OFF

requirements are posted.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere ar e
often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include areas such as below deck on boats, fuel or

Clean the external surfaces with a damp cloth, using a mild solution
of dishwashing detergent and water. Some household cleaners may
contain chemicals which could seriously damage the unit. Avoid the
use of any petroleum-based solvent cleaners. Also, avoid applying
liquids directly on the portable unit.
