Safety and General Information

Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation

Read This Information Before Using Your Radio.

The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information in user guides published prior to December 1, 2002.

Transmit and Receive Procedure

Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/ uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:

• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.

• To receive calls, release the PTT button.

• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.

Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J.

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992.

• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition.

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to

electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and

2. This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IC Canada

The term "IC:" before the equipment certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices – Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

People with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) from

their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.

• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.

• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the

potential for interference.

• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to

suspect that interference is taking place.

Medical Devices – Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

edical Devices – Other

f you use any other personal medical device, consult the

anufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately

hielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist

s you in obtaining this information.

afety and General Use While Driving

heck the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in

C the area where you drive, and always obey them. If you do use your radio while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

Use hands-free operation, if available.

•

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call

• f driving conditions so require.

he use of a two-way radio while engaged in activities requiring

oncentration may cause distraction or otherwise impair your

bility to safely participate in such activities. Always use

a technology safely.

Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the

ir bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and

ause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially

xplosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially

ualified should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.”

q Do not remove, install or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks

n a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or

ire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

ote: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred

o above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats,

t fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often—but not always—posted.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Operational Cautions

Antennas

Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material—like jewelry, keys or beaded chains— touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.

Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do not use sharp or conductive tools to remove either of these batteries.

Scanning Channels

Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels, or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.

There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning ( basic and advanced ) to make your search more effective. The basic scan mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22 channels as you have set them ( or with the default code value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect any code in use, and use that code value temporarily for that channel.

Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start the scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more often than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.

To start Scanning:

1. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.

2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission.

3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press within five seconds after the end of the transmission.

4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds after the end of any received activity.

5. To stop scanning, briefly press the key.

o start Advanced Scanning:

. Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.

. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the

Weather Receiver

Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment Canada Weatheradio.

You can listen to a weather channel (see “Weather Channels and Frequencies” table below) or set your radio to alert you to emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts. When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio in scan mode or for two-way communications.

Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located throughout the United States and Canada, respectively. These transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other information 24 hours a day.

Note: NOAA weather radio stations are assigned to cover specific areas and service may be limited. Please check with your local weather office for frequency and details, or visit www.weather.gov/nwr in the US or www.msc.ec.gc.ca/msb/weatheradio in Canada to view the appropriate transmitter for your area.
