Product Safety and RF Exposure
for Portable Two-Way Radios
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS
SECTION WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE
USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS
AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE
WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN
APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
STANDARDS. ALSO READ THE OPERATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control
Information and Operational Instructions for
Occupational Use
Note: This radio is intended for use in occupational/
controlled conditions where users have full
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control
over their exposure to meet the occupational limits in
FCC/ICNIRP and International standards. This radio
device is NOT authorized for general population consumer use
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the
radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications
between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio
frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive
calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy.
Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and
x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with
these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when
used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and
genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and
industry work with organizations to develop standards for
safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide
recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and
the general public. These recommended RF exposure
levels include substantial margins of protection.
All Motorola two-way radios are designed, manufactured,
and tested to ensure they meet government-established
RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users of twoway radios.
These instructions are important because they inform
users about RF energy exposure and provide simple
procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information
on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your
exposure to assure compliance with established RF
exposure limits:

Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
Regulations (US markets only)
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the
FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-way
radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When twoway radios are used as a consequence of employment, the
FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control
their exposure to meet occupational requirements.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with
a number of national and International standards and
guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies
with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at
operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and
is authorized by the IEEE/ICNIRP for occupational use
only.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with
these exposure guidelines, your radio generates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or
in standby mode.
Note: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio,
are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk–5% listen–90%
standby), even though this radio complies with IEEE/
ICNIRP occupational exposure limits at usage factors of up
to 50% talk.
Your two-way radio complies with the following
RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission,
Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) /
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of
Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic
Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz,
1999
• Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation –
Human Exposure) Standard, 2003
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002
"Regulation of limitation of exposure to electrical,
magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the radio
frequency range between 9 KHz and 300 GHz" and
"Attachment to resolution # 303 from July 2, 2002"

RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the
occupational/controlled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedures:
Guidelines:
• User awareness instructions should accompany device
when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements
described herein are not met.
Operating Instruction
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the
time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT)
button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because
this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only
when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards
compliance).
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a
Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body
harness for this product. Using approved body-worn
accessories is important because the use of
non-Motorola-approved accessories may result in
exposure levels, which exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP
occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
•
If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are
not using the radio in the intended use position, in front
of the face in the hand held mode, then ensure the
antenna and the radio are kept 2.5 cm (one inch) from
the body when transmitting.
s
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important
because RF exposures decrease with increasing
distance from the antenna.
Hand-held Mode - Operating Instructions
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of
the face with the microphone (and other
parts of the radio including the antenna) at
least 2.5 cm (one inch) away from the nose
or lips. Antenna should be kept away from the eye.
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since
RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the
antenna.
Approved Accessories
• Use only Motorola-approved, supplied or replacement
antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non–
Motorola-approved antennas, batteries and accessories
may exceed IEEE/ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines.
For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and
other accessories please see your dealer or local Motorola
contact. Your nearest dealer can be found at the following
web site:

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
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 on
board 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
(AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 15
cms (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld
wireless radio and a pacemaker.These recommendations
are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cms 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 you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
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.
Other Medical Devices
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.
Use of Communication Devices While Driving
Always check the laws and regulations on the use of
radios in the areas where you drive.
• 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 or regulations so require.

OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
!
!
W A R N I N G
For Vehicles With Air Bags
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to
installation of electronic equipment to avoid
interference with air bag wiring.
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
(Explosive atmospheres refers to hazard classified
locations that may contain hazardous gas, vapors, or
dusts.)
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type
especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically
Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, CENELEC
or ATEX Approved). 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.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred
to above include fuelling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps And Blasting 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 radio". 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 such as
jewellery, 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.
