SAFETY INFORMATION
Read this information before using the radio.
PRODUCT SAFETY AND RF EXPOSURE FOR PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIOS.
This document provides information and instructions for the safe and efficient operation of Motorola
Portable Two-Way Radios. The information provided in this document supersedes information
contained in user guides published prior to February 2002.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational
Instructions for Occupational Use
Note:This Radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled applications, where users have been
made aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This radio
device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer or similar use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or
radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms
include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with
these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological
damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop
standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF
exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection.
All Motorola two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet
government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they
inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to
control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations (US markets only)
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable
two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are used as a
consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their
exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a
product label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Motorola two-way radio has
a RF Exposure Product Label. Do not remove this RF Exposure Label from the device. Also, your
Motorola user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions
required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
