Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information
contained in user guides published prior to July 2000.
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 transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.
•To receive calls, release the 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 radio is designed to comply with the following national and international
standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy:
•United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal
Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
Safety and General Information

•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 Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to
300 GHz, 1999
•Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic
Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 2001 (applicable to wireless phones only)
•ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2002) “additional
requirements for SMR, cellular, and PCS product certification.”
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.

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
or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of nonMotorola-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,

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 recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches (15 cm) be maintained between a 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.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the radio more than six 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 you have 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.
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 radios 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.
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.
Safety and General Information

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:
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
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 twoway radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
