SAFETY INFORMATION
Product Safety and RF Exposure for Portable Two-Way Radios
BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THIS BOOKLET 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. FOR RADIOS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED AS INTRINSICALLY
SAFE, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION ON INTRINSIC SAFETY ON PAGE xiii.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and
Operational Instructions for Occupational Use
NOTICE: 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 two-way 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:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
viii SAFETY INFORMATION
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 two-way 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. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a
product label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Motorola two-way radio
has a RF Exposure Product Label. Do not remove this RF Exposure Label from the device. Also,
your Motorola user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating
instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your Motorola 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:
Your Motorola 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
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998

SAFETY INFORMATION ix
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 Instructions:
• 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, along side the head in the phone mode (TETRA only), 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. 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.
Phone Mode (TETRA only) – Operating Instructions:
• When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio product as you would a wireless
telephone. Speak directly into the microphone.
x SAFETY INFORMATION
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:
http://www.motorola.com/governmentandenterprise
NOTE:
Only parts which are listed in the MTP850 Ex & MTP810 Ex Accessory
Leaflet (P/N: 6866588D19), except for the chargers, are approved for use
with the radio in potentially explosive atmospheres.

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.
SAFETY INFORMATION xi
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation
of 15 centimeters (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 centimeters 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.
xii SAFETY INFORMATION
Use of Communication Devices While Driving
Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area 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
For Vehicles With An Air Bag
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, ATEX/IECEx 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 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.
SAFETY INFORMATION xiii
Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
The TETRA portable radios MTP850 Ex and MTP810 Ex are approved for use in potentially
explosive environments according to the ATEX EC Directive 94/9/EC and IECEx certification
scheme.The radio and battery approval labels give the information in which types/levels of
hazardous areas the radios and battery can be used. The intrinsically safe protection rating for these
radio models goes according to the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC:
MTP850 Ex – 2D - This model is marked with the ATEX approval number BVS 08 ATEX E XXX X. II
2G Ex ib IIC T4 (Category 2, Approved for Zone 1, 2 Equipment group II, Gas group C,

T3, Tamb -20°C to +50°C) II 3D Ex ibD 22 IP5x T90°C (Category 3, Approved for Zone 22,
Equipment group II).
Operational Cautions for Intrinsic Safe Equipment
• Do not operate radio communications equipment in a potentially explosive atmosphere unless it is a
type especially qualified (for example, FM, UL, CSA, or ATEX/IECEx or ATEX approved). An
explosion or fire may result.
• Do not operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically safe product in a potentially
explosive atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing). An
explosion or fire may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire.
Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the potentially explosive atmosphere
capability and the intrinsic safety approval labelling (FM, UL, CSA, ATEX/IECEx or ATEX). Radios
will not be upgraded to this capability and labeled once they have been shipped to the field.
A modification changes the radio’s hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can
only be made by the original product manufacturer.
• Do not replace or change accessories in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or
fire.
• Turn the radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory.
• Do not disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way that exposes the internal
circuits of the radio.
• Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or Approved accessories specifically
approved for the radio unit may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an
unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe approved Product will
negate the approval rating of the product.
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any intrinsically safe Agency-approved radio could
adversely affect the Approval rating of the radio.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a potentially explosive atmosphere could
result in serious injury or death.
xiv SAFETY INFORMATION
Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the radio that would bring it back to its original
condition. Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a radio
which does not require the outer casing of the radio to be opened in a manner which exposes the
internal electrical circuits of the radio.
Repairs of Motorola ATEX/IECEx certified intrinsically safe radios must be carried out ONLY
by Motorola I.S. trained personnel, who are aware of the special parts required and the
procedures necessary to maintain the ATEX/IECEx conformance of the product. The
Motorola internal service centres undergo regular training and receive a Motorola internal
certification that enables them to conduct ATEX repairs.
• Service personnel doing ATEX repairs have to have a mandatory annual ATEX/IECEx
awareness training.
• The participation in the ATEX/IECEx awareness training plus a detailed product training
certifies the person to conduct ATEX/IECEx repairs.
• The training records have to be kept for at least 10 Years.
• For every ATEX/IECEx repair at the minimum the service centre must record: Customer
information, date of repair, serial number, date code and model number of the unit that
was repaired, technician’s name and ATEX training date as well as repair
information/parts replaced. These records have to be kept under record retention for at
least 10 Years after the repair was conducted.
When conducting repair work, the following must be observed:
• If the radio has an IP6x protection, a vacuum leak test has to be conducted after the radio
is assembled. A confirmation that the leak test was conducted has to added to the repair
records.
• It is essential that only original Motorola spare parts specifically listed for the particular
unit can be used for repair. Any other replacement parts are not allowed and may impair
the intrinsic safety of the unit.
If any of the items below are observed, the intrinsic safety of the unit may be impaired and
the customer must be informed about this. Text proposal:
________________________________
Dear customer,
We observed the following modifications on the units that were under repair:
1. .....
2. .....
...
These modifications are not authorized by Motorola and deviate from the approved design.
The modifications may impair the intrinsic safety of the units and as such may cause a higher
risk of explosion when the units are used in a potentially explosive environment.
________________________________
The final letter may deviate from the example above.
• ATEX/IECEx and CE markings damaged or modified
• Additional engraving, additional labels on the enclosure
• Repairs or modifications of the housings/enclosure

SAFETY INFORMATION xv
Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving agency, is
tested as a complete system which consists of the listed agency Approved portable, Approved
battery, and Approved accessories or options, or both. This Approved portable and battery
combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute
has been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications equipment unit. Approved
configurations are listed in MTP850 Ex & MTP810 Ex Accessory Leaflet (P/N: 6866588D19).
The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of
that radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system.
The manual PN referenced on the Intrinsically Safe Approval Label identifies the approved
Accessories and or options that can be used with that portable radio unit.
Using a non Motorola intrinsically safe battery and or accessory with the Motorola approved radio
unit will void the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit.
Any modification of the enclosure of the radios, batteries or accessories such as:
• placing additional labels
•engraving
• repairs after damages on the enclosure
is not allowed and will impair the intrinsic safety of the equipment. If this is observed, the customer
has to be informed that these modifications are not allowed and the units are not approved for use in
a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Only officially released radio SW has been tested properly and that the intrinsic safety of the radios
is ensured. Radios are not allowed to operate with any other SW in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. SW that is not officially released may impair the intrinsic safety of the radios.
