The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action
in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985, has adopted a
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment.
Motorola subscribes to the same safety standard for the use
of its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in user
exposure substantially below FCC recommended limits:
Do not hold the radio with the antenna very close to, or
touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the face or
eyes, while transmitting. Hold the radio in a vertical
position with the microphone two to three inches away
from the lips.
Do not hold the transmit switch (PTT) on when not actually
desiring to transmit.
Do not allow children to play with any radio equipment
containing a transmitter.
Do not operate radio transmitters near explosive blasting
caps. The transmitted radio energy may trigger a blasting
cap and cause an explosion.
Do not operate radio transmitters in an explosive
atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified for such
use. An explosion may result.
Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing
or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode
when subjected to extremely high temperatures.
Do not short circuit the radio. An accidental short circuit,
such as a paper clip dr opped across the batter y
terminals, may generate enough heat to spark a fire.
Anyone intending to use a radio in a hazardous area is advised
to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and with
Section 70 of the National Fire Code, which is commonly
referred to as Article 500 of the National Electric Code. Use of
anything but factory supplied components may affect the
approval and safety of the radio. Likewise, it is advised that
servicing should be performed only by qualified personnel who
adhere to the following FM required warning:
