Congratulations!
You now have at your ngertips a valuable communications tool: a Motorola Solutions two-way
radio! Rugged, reliable and easy to use, your Motorola Solutions radio will keep you in constant
touch with your colleagues for years to come, with negligible maintenance downtime.
Please take a few minutes to read this manual carefully. The information presented here will
allow you to derive maximum performance from your radio, in case questions arise later on.
We’re glad you joined the Motorola Solutions team. Call on us anytime, because communi-

Safety Training information:
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 0 dBd. The
radio must be used in vehicle-mount congurations with a maximum operating
duty factor not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk congurations.
This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio
operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers
and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance shown below.
Antenna Installation:
For rear deck trunk installation, the antenna must be located at least the following
distance away from rear-seat passengers.
For roof top installations, the antenna must be placed in the center of the roof.

Warning!
The 70.7 V RF voltage (@45/50 W/50 W) or 50.0 V RF voltage (@25 W/50 W) is
applied to the antenna terminal of the transceiver while transmitting.
Do not touch the TX RF section absolutely while transmitting.
Caution: The radio can become hot.
Do not operate this radio continuously in transmission mode for longer than 7
minutes. Ensure enough standby/reception time for cool-down between transmis-
sion periods. Be sure that TOT timer is correctly installed and properly working.
Avoid touching the rear bottom of the transceiver’s body while transmission.
Do not install this radio in a conned space such as a book case or similar unit.
Provide 2 inches (5 cm) or more space on either side of the radio.
