SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR MOTOROLA TWO-WAY RADIO
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides
published prior to October 2000. For information regarding radio use in a hazardous atmosphere refer to the
Factory Mutual (FM) manual supplement included with radio models that offer this capability and/or the
intrinsic safety radio information section of this user manual.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
To transmit (talk) you must push the Push-To-Talk button; to receive (listen) you must release the
Push-To-Talk button. When the radio is transmitting, it generates radio frequency (RF) energy; when it is
receiving, or when it is off, it does not generate RF energy.
PORTABLE RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
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 (EME):
•
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
•
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
•
National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
•
Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromag-
netic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
•
Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Expo-
sure) Standard 1999 (applicable to wireless phones only)
To assure 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:
Two-way Radio Operation
When using your radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to
two inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) away from the lips.

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body
when transmitting, always place the radio in a Motorola 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 Motorola approved body-worn accessory and are not using the
radio in the intended use positions along side of the head in the phone mode or in front of the face in
the two-way radio mode, then ensure the antenna and radio is kept the following minimum distances
from the body when transmitting:
