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 Push-to-Talk (PTT) button.

• To transmit (talk), press 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 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.

M

edical Devices – Pacemakers

T

he Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a

m

inimum separation of 6 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.

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.

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.

N

ote:The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above

i

nclude fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
p

articles (such as grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area

w

here you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

A

reas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often—but not

a

lways—posted.

B

lasting Caps and Areas

T

o avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your

r

adio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
areas posted “Turn off two-way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.

ScanningChannels

Use scan to search the channels for transmissions from unknown
p

arties, to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed

channels, or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.
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 channels as
you have set them (or with the default code value of 1).

T

he “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.
P

riority 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 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.

2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel, 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.

ScanningNotes

1. If you press while the radio is scrolling through inactive

channels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”. Scanning
will resume five seconds after the end of your transmission. You may
press the key to stop scanning at any time.

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

immediately resume the scan by briefly pressing or .

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

temporarily remove that channel from the scan list by pressing and
holding or for three seconds. You may remove more than one
channel in this way.

4. 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 .

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

UseWithAccessories

You can transmit more reliably with the use of optional PTT headset
accessories. A PTT headset allows privacy to others around you while
listening.
Many accessories (sold separately) are available for your radio. For
more information, visit our Web site at www.motorolasolutions.com or
shop.giantintl.com.

1. Turn the radio off and plug the PTT accessory into the accessory

jack.

2. Turn the radio on. You may now press the PTT on the accessory

microphone instead of the radio.

3. Adjust the volume appropriately by pressing . Lower the volume

before placing the accessory on your head or in your ear.

Note: The MD Series does not have VOX capabilities, and is only
