Safety and General Information

Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation

Read This Information efore Using Your Radio.

The information provided in this document supersedes the general

safety information in user guides published prior to December 1, 2002.

Transmit and Receive Procedure

Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control

your exposure and ensure compliance with the general

population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to

the following procedure:

• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.

• To receive calls, release the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button.

• To transmit (talk), press the PTT button.

Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio

generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in

terms of measuring standards compliance).

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy

exposure standards and guidelines:

• United States Federal communications Commission, Code of Federal

Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J.

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical

and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992.

• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999

Edition.

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) 1998.

• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure

to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range

from 3 KHz to 300 GHz, 1999.

• Australian communications Authority Radiocommunications

(Electromagnetic Radiation—Human Exposure) Standard, 2003.

• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002.

• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 533 of September 10, 2009.

To ensure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure

to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set

forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following

procedures.

Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.

Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage

the radio and may violate FCC regulations.

Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE." Holding the

antenna affects the effective range.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliances 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/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines.

If you do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn

accessories and are not using the radio held in the normal use position,

ensure the radio and its antenna are at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your

body when transmitting.

Data Operation

If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio with or without

an accessory cable, position the radio and its antenna at least one inch

(2.5 cm) from the body.

Approved Accessories

53724: Remote Speaker with Push-to-Talk Microphone

53727: Earbud with Push-to-Talk Microphone

53728: Flexible Ear Receiver

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic

interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise

configured for electromagnetic compatibility. This device complies with

Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and

2. This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

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 onboard on aircraft.

Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations

per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices – Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a

minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) 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.

People with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) 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 there is any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place.

Medical Devices – 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.

Medical Devices - Other

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.

Safety and General Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in the area

where you drive, and always obey them. If you do use 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.

The use of a two-way radio while engaged in activities requiring

concentration may cause distraction or otherwise impair your ability to

safely participate in such activities. Always use technology safely.

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. Only radio types that are especially qualified

should be used 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.

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 two-way radios." Obey all signs and

instructions.

Operational Cautions

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—like jewelry, keys or beaded

chains—touch 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.

Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do not use sharp or

conductive tools to remove either of these batteries.

Battery Charger Safety Instructions:

Save these Instructions

1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

2. Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp

blow, or has been dropped or damaged in any way.

3. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug will

not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician. An improper condition can result in a risk of electric shock.

4. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug rather

than the cord when disconnecting the charger from the AC receptacle.

5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet

before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

6. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Motorola may

result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

7. Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over

or subjected to damage or stress.

8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of a fire and/or

electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:

• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size

and shape as those on the plug of the charger.

• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

• The extension cord size is 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet, and

16 AWG for lengths up to 150 feet.

9. The supply cord of the AC adaptor cannot be replaced. If the cord is

damaged, call customer service at 1-800-638-5119 or e-mail us at

[email protected].

Changes or modifications, not expressly approved by Motorola, may void

the user's authority granted by the local regulatory agency to operate this

radio and should not be made. To comply with local regulatory

requirements, transmitter adjustments should be made only by or under

the supervision of a person certified as technically qualified to perform

transmitter maintenance and repairs in the private land mobile and fixed

services as certified by an organization representative of the user of those

services. Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal,

semiconductor, etc.) not authorized by the local agency's equipment

authorization for this radio could violate local government regulatory rules.

Note:

• Use of this outside the country where it was intended to be distributed is

subject to government regulations and may be prohibited.
