Federal Communication Commission Regulations
The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions
from mobile two-way radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate
compliance with RF exposure limits before mobile two-way radios can be marketed In
the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and exercise control over,
their exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished by
education or training through appropriate means such as information and instructions
in user manuals or safety booklets, or other appropriate means. This user safety
booklet includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on
how to control your RF exposure.
Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national
and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and
ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at
usage factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen.
In terms of measuring RF energy for
compliance with FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy
only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in
standby mode.
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
•
