RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions where users have full

knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the
occupational limits in FCC and International standards. This radio device is NOT
authorized for general population consumer use.

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio
waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include,
but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other
forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop
standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure
for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial
margins of protection.

All Motorola two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet
government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform
users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.

and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information

Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to
control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
www.who.int/en/
http://responsibility.motorolasolutions.com/index.php/downloads/dow07-rfexposureassessmentstand

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations

When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully
aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your
Motorola two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Motorola user manual, or separate
safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and
to satisfy compliance requirements.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for

occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk­50% listen and is approved for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for
compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio generates measurable RF energy only while it
is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.

NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5%

and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information

listen-90% standby) even though this radio complies with FCC occupational exposure limits and
may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.

Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR et
seq. & FCC, OET Bulletin 65

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

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

• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6 & Industry Canada RSS-102

• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications Standard et seq.

• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 et seq.

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for Two-Way Radio Operations

To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure
limits, always adhere to the following procedures.

• DO NOT remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.

• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.

Two-Way Radio Operation

• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. The PTT button may reside on the
radio itself or may be hosted on approved wired or wireless (for example, a Bluetooth enabled remote
Push-to-Talk button) accessories. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio
generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for
standards compliance).

and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information

• In front of the face. Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other
parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from
the nose or lips. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important to ensure
compliance.

NOTE: RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.

• Body Worn Operation. When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Motorola-approved clip,
holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is
important because the use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which
exceed the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.

• Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and audio accessories. Use
of non-Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and wired or wireless accessories may exceed the
applicable RF exposure guidelines (iEEE, ICNIRP or FCC).

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, Defibrillators or other Implanted Medical Devices

Persons with pacemakers, Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) or other active implantable
medical devices (AIMD) should:

• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of interference from radio frequency
transmitters, such as portable radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more susceptible to
interference).

• Turn the radio OFF immediately if they have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

• Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation site, and carry or use the radio on the
opposite side of their body from the implantable device to minimize the potential for interference.

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.

• Use hands-free operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions or regulations so
require.

Acoustic Safety

Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or permanently
affect your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be
affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative
effect.

To protect your hearing:

• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.

• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.

• Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.

• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.

• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker directly against
your ear.

Operational Cautions

C a u t i o n

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 touches 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.

Hazard Locations (Intrinsically) Safe Radio Information

The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product that has been approved as intrinsically safe by an
approval agency (for example FM Approvals, CSA, UL, or Cenelec) and certifies that a particular product
meets the Agency's applicable intrinsic safety standards for specific types of hazardous classified
locations. A portable radio that has been approved for intrinsic safety will have Approval label attached to
the radio to identify the unit as being Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies
the hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part number of the battery that must be used. The
Intrinsically Safe Approval Label will be located on the portable radio unit.

and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use

RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information

occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire.

• Turn the radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory.

• DO NOT disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way that exposes the internal
circuits of the unit.

• Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or Approved accessories specifically
approved for the radio unit may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an
unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location.

• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe approved Product will
negate the approval rating of the product.

• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any intrinsically safe Agency-approved radio could
adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.

• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in
serious injury or death.

REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPROVAL ARE
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.

Repairs to a Motorola FM approved radio product should only be done at a location that
has been FM audited under the FM 3605 repairs and service standard.

A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition.

Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not
require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner that exposes the internal electrical circuits
of the unit.

Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories

The Motorola communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving agency, (FM, UL,
CSA, CENELEC) is tested as a complete system which consists of the listed agency Approved portable,
Approved battery, and Approved accessories or options, or both. This Approved portable and battery
combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute has
been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications equipment unit. Approved
configurations are listed by the Approving Agency (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC).

The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of that
radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system.

The manual PN referenced on the Intrinsically Safe Approval Label identifies the approved Accessories and or
options that can be used with that portable radio unit.

Using a non-Motorola-intrinsically-safe battery and or accessory with the Motorola approved radio unit will void
the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit.
