Safety and General Information

mportant 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.

• 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.

• 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

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations.

o NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the

ntenna affects its effective range.

ody-Worn Operation

o maintain compliances with RF exposure regulatory guidelines, if you

ear a radio on your body when transmitting always place the radio in a

w Motorola-supplied or approved clip holder, holster, case or body harness for this product. Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed

F exposure regulatory guidelines.

f you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn

ccessories and are not using the radio held in the normal use position,

nsure the radio and its antenna are at least 1 inch ( 2.5 cm) from your

ote: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic

nterference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise

onfigured for electromagnetic compatibility. This device complies with

art 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

P conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and . This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

acilities

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.

ny use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations

er airline crew instructions.

edical Devices – Pacemakers

he Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a

inimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a

m 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.

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

ther area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle

ngine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often—but not

lways—posted.

lasting 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

reas posted “Turn off two-way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.

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.

To start Advanced Scanning:

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

2. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channels. No Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.

3. When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code (or NO code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission. Any Interference Eliminator Code that may be in use by that party will be detected and displayed.

4. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press within five seconds of the end of the transmission. The radio will transmit using the newly detected Interference Eliminator Code.

. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds

fter the end of any received activity.

. To stop scanning, briefly press the key.

Scanning Notes:

. If you press while the radio is scrolling through inactive

hannels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”. Scanning

ill resume five seconds after the end of your transmission. You may

ress the key to stop scanning at any time.

. If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you may immediately

esume the scan by briefly pressing or .

. If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission, you may

emporarily remove that channel from the scan list by pressing and

olding or for three seconds. You may remove more than one

h channel in this way.

. To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the radio off

and then back on, or exit and re-enter the scanning mode by pressing .

. You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.

. In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for one

ransmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set that

etected code on that channel to permanently use the detected code.
