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 down-time. 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.
Important Note
There are no owner-serviceable parts inside the radio. All service jobs must be referred to an authorized
r
Motorola Solutions Service Representative. Consult your Authorized Motorola Solutions Dealer for installation of optional accessories.
In order to maintain the specied water integrity performance, periodic maintenance is recommended.
r
Should the radio sustain a severe shock (e.g. if it is dropped), the water integrity may be compromised,
r
requiring service. Should this occur, contact your Authorized Motorola Solutions Dealer.
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 and NOAA. Under no circumstance should this frequency band be part of the pre-programmed operating frequencies of this radio.

ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Prod-
uct 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:
http://www.motorolasolutions.com
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.

3) To reduce the risk of explosion, recharge the batteries outside of hazardous locations.
4) Perform the battery charging where the ambient
temperature range +41 °F to +104 °F (+5 °C to +40
°C). Charge out of this range could cause damage
to the battery pack.
5) Battery Pack shall not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, re, or the like.
6) Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to
the instructions
7) For further details and cautions of the charging,
refer to the Operating Manual of the CD-58 Desktop Charger.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is replaced
with an incorrect battery. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type.
Low Battery Indication
As the battery discharges during use, the voltage
gradually becomes lower. When the battery voltage
becomes to low, substitute a freshly charged battery
and recharge the depleted pack. The LED indicator
on the top of the radio will blink red when the battery
voltage is low.
