I
mportant Information on Safe and Efficient Operation
I
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.
• Health Canada - Safety Code 6; Limits of Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range
from 3 kHz to 300 GHz (2009).
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation—Human Exposure) Standard, 2003.
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002.
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 533 of September 10, 2009.
To ensure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth
in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures.
Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure

p
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
onsistent with the independent research by and recommendations of
c
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.
Medical Devices – Other
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in 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 if driving
conditions so require.
The use of a two-way radio while engaged in activities requiring
concentration may cause distraction or otherwise impair your ability to
safely participate in such activities. Always use 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 air bag inflates, the radio
may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants
of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified should be
used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove, install or
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to
above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains
hemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders) and any
c
ther area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
o
ngine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often—but not
e
always—posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your
adio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
r
reas posted “Turn off two-way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Special Features
Emergency Alert Mode
he Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in your
T
group if you need urgent help. The MU Series radios will operate in an
utomatic “hands-free” emergency control mode for a total of 30
a
seconds after activating the Emergency Alert. The MU Series radios in
your group will automatically advance the speaker volume to the
maximum setting and sound a warbling alert tone for 8 seconds. The alert
tone is emitted from your own radio speaker and the receiving radios in
your group. After the 8 second alert, any spoken words or incidental
sounds at your end will be transmitted to the group for 22 seconds. For
the 30 second duration of Emergency Alert mode, the MU Series radio
controls and buttons will be locked to maximize reception of the
emergency message.
1. Press and hold the Emergency Alert button for three seconds.
2. Release the button after the LED Indicator glows red and the alert tone
begins to sound. There is no need to continue to hold the Emergency
Alert button or use PTT for your message to be transmitted.
3. After the alert tone ends you may speak into the microphone. Your
voice or incidental sounds will be transmitted. The LED indicator will
continue to glow for the duration of the 22 second period.
4. After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk Confirmation
Tone and the LED Indicator will extinguish. Operation then returns to
normal two-way mode.
Note: All Motorola Talkabout EM, MJ, MR, MT and MU Series radios are
fully compatible with the Emergency Alert feature. Radios other than EM,
MJ, MR, MT and MU Series can receive the emergency alert signal, but
will not respond with adjusted volume settings, locked controls, or a
warbling alert tone. Users of other radio models set to the same channel
and Interference Eliminator Code will hear a steady tone for eight seconds
followed by the voice transmission for 22 seconds.
Warning: The Emergency Alert feature should only be used in the event
of an actual emergency. Motorola is not responsible if there is no
response to the emergency alert from the receiving group.
Built-in Flashlight
Press and hold the flashlight button to turn and keep the light on. The
switch functions as a momentary control for the light.
Note: Turn off the flashlight when not in use to conserve battery power.
Keypad Lock
To avoid accidentally changing your radio settings:
1. Press and hold until displays.
2. When in lock mode, you can turn the radio on and off, adjust the
volume, receive, transmit, send a call tone, and monitor channels. All
other functions are locked.
To unlock the radio, press and hold until is no longer displayed.
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
