Safety and General Information

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 transmit (talk), you
must push the Push-to-Talk button; to receive (listen), release the Push-to-Talk
button.

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

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

Safety and General Information

• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
1998

4

• 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)

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

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

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.

Safety and General Information

5

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), push 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).

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) from your body when transmitting.

Safety and General Information

Data Operation

If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio with or without an
accessory cable, position the radio and its antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm)

from the body.

6

Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories visit our website at www.mot.com.

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 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 U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.

Safety and General Information

7

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (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.

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.

Safety and General Information

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

8

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.

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.

Safety and General Information

9

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 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.

Eavesdrop Reducer

Your radio has the Eavesdrop Reducer feature, a scramble code that
makes your transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening without the
same scramble code. It doesn’t guarantee secrecy, but it adds an extra
layer of privacy. Don’t forget -- all the radios have to be set to the same
Eavesdrop Reducer code for the transmissions to be clear.

To turn the Eavesdrop Reducer feature on, press \ until e is displayed, then

If your radio has QuieT6000 on and want to talk to others in your group who also
have QuieT6000 on, you must first transmit a call tone before talking to them.
When the call tone is transmitted, ^ is displayed on the other radios with the same
channel, interference eliminator code, scramble code, and QuieT6000 on, letting
them know that you want to talk to them. Those radios can then receive and
transmit until 30 seconds of inactivity occurs, which resets the QuieT6000
function. While QuieT6000 is on, F is displayed. However, during the 30
seconds of inactivity, F flashes.

Weather

Your radio can tune into broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment Canada
Weatheradio.

You can listen to a weather channel or set your radio to alert you to emergency
weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts.

Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located throughout the
United States and Canada, respectively. These transmitters broadcast watches,
forecasts, and other information 24 hours a day.

Note: Service may not be available in all areas. Check with your local weather

office for frequency and details, or visit www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr in the US
or www.msc-smc.ec.gc.ca/cd/factsheets/wxradio in Canada. The use of
the NOAA logo does not provide an endorsement or implied
endorsement by NOAA's National Weather Service nor does the use of
the Weatheradio logo provide an endorsement or implied endorsement
by Environment Canada.

Whenever you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio for two-way
communications. However, a weather alert will notify you while the radio is in two­way mode (if you have enabled weather alert) and the radio is on but not
transmitting or receiving.
