Important Notice for North American Users Regarding 406 MHz Guard Band
The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration have requested the cooperation
of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in preserving the integrity of the protected frequency range 406.0
to 406.1 MHz, which is reserved for use by distress beacons. Do not attempt to program this apparatus, under any
circumstances, for operation in the frequency range 406.0 - 406.1 MHz if the apparatus is to be used in or near North
America.
Warning - Frequency band 406 - 406.1 MHz is reserved for use ONLY as a distress beacon by the US Coast Guard

ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product
Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy
awareness and control for Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations.
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved antennas and other accessories, visit the following website:

Any modication to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola Solutions, may void the user’s authority to operate
this device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-approved antenna with the
maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in
this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove
r
any protective cases. Slide the Battery Pack Latch on
the bottom of the radio toward the front panel while
sliding the battery down about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm). Then
lift the battery out from the radio.
Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable
Lithium-Ion packs, as they could explode if ac-
cidentally short-circuited.
