SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF MOTOROLA TWO-WAY RADIOS
This document provides information and instructions for the safe and efficient operation of Motorola Portable and
Mobile Two-Way Radios.
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides
published prior to January 1, 1998.
For information regarding radio use in hazardous areas, please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) approval manual
supplement or Instruction Card which is included with radio models that offer this capability
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
(EME), is designed to comply with the following National and International Standards and Guidelines regarding
exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
●
Federal Communications Commission Report and Order No. FCC 96-326 (August 1996)
●
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992)
●
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP-1986)
●
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP- 1986)
●
European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC):
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that your exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
is within the guidelines in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
PORTABLE RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
●
When transmitting with a portable radio, hold radio in a vertical position with
the microphone 2.5 to 5.0 centimeters (one to two inches) away from the
mouth. Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (one inch) from your head or
body when transmitting.
●
If you wear a portable Two-Way radio on your body, ensure that the antenna
is at least 2.5 centimeters (one inch) from the body when transmitting.
