To assure 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

Safety and General Information

antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate
FCC regulations.

2

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

affects call quality and may cause the radio to operate at a higher power level than
needed.

Two-way Radio Operation
When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio in a
vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away
from the lips.
Body-worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines, if you
wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always place the radio in a Motorola
supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product.
Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved
body-worn accessories, and are not using the radio held in the normal use position,

ensure the radio and its antenna are at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from your
body when transmitting.
Data Operation

When using any data feature of the radio, with or without an accessory cable,

position the radio and its antenna at least one (2.5 cm) away from the body.
Approved Accessories

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference

• FACILITIES

• AIRCRAFT

• MEDICAL DEVICES

Safety and General Information

(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.

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.

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.

Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld

wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food
and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.

4

• 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 radio 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.

Safety and General Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio in the area where you drive.
Always obey them.
When using 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.

Safety and General Information

OPERATIONAL WARNINGS

• FOR VEHICLES WITH AN AIR BAG

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, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use 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 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

Safety and General Information

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: “Tu r n
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.

BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
