mportant Information on Safe and Efficient Operation

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 PTT button.

• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (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.

Scanning Channels

Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from unknown parties, 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 22 channels as

ou have set them (or with the default code value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect any c

ode in use, and use that code value temporarily for that channel. Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and

nterference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start the scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more often t

han the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any a

ctivity occurring on the home channel as a priority.

o start Scanning:

. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and the

adio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.

. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and

ode combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the

ransmission.

. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press within five

econds after the end of the transmission.

. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds

fter the end of any received activity.

. To stop scanning, briefly press the key.

To start Advanced Scanning:

1. Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.

2. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and

the radio will begin to scroll through the channels. No Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.

3. When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code (or NO

code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission. Any I

nterference Eliminator Code that may be in use by that party will be

etected and displayed.

4. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press within five

econds of the end of the transmission. The radio will transmit using

he newly detected Interference Eliminator Code.
