Safety and General Information
Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio
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.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The XTN Series VHF radios operate in the
frequency range of 151-158 MHz, the XTN Series UHF radios operate in the
frequency range of 461-469 MHz. When you communicate with XU1100 or XV1100
radios the output power level is 1.0 watt, with other XTN Series radios, the output
power level is 2.0 watts
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola radio 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

DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna
affects the effective range.
Two-Way Radio Operation
When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio in a vertical
position with the microphone two to three inches (5. 0 to 7.5 cm) away from the lips.
Safety and General Information
ii
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines, if you
wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always place the radio 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 RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the radio
and its antenna is at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.
Data Operation
When using any data feature of a device, with or without an accessory cable,
position the device and its antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories refer to the Two-Way Radio section of
www.motorola.com/store.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
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.
Safety and General Information
iii
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless
radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some 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
Safety and General Information
be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
iv
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive.
Always obey them. When using your radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as
“Intrinsically Safe.”
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include
fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Safety and General Information
v
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you
are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off twoway radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
