Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PERSONAL
COMMUNICATOR
The information provided in this document supersedes the general
safety information contained in user guides published prior to
July 2000. For information regarding radio use in a hazardous
atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Manual
Supplement or Instruction Card, which is included with radio models
that offer this capability.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your Personal Communicator contains a transmitter and a receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.
Safety and General Information
7
The Personal Communicator operates at a frequency 900, 1800, or
1900 MHz and employs digital modulation techniques.
When you communicate with your Personal Communicator, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your
Personal Communicator transmits. The output power level may vary
over a range from 1.0 to 2.0 watts.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Personal Communicator 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) C95.11999 Edition
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
8
(NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your Personal
Communicator as you would a wireline telephone. Speak directly
into the microphone.
Body-worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a Personal Communicator on your body when
transmitting, always place the Personal Communicator 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
Safety and General Information
the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn accessories, and are
not using the Personal Communicator held in the normal use position,
ensure the Personal Communicator and its antenna are at least
10
one inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.
Data operation
When using any data feature of the Personal Communicator, with or
without an accessory cable, position the Personal Communicator
and its antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
