SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR RADIO
The information provided in this document supersedes the
general safety information contained in user guides published
prior to July 2000.
TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE PROCEDURE
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the
general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedure:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (
PTT
) button.
• To receive calls, release the
PTT
button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the
radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
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:
• 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
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 2004
(applicable to wireless phones only)
• ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11,
2001) "additional requirements for SMR, cellular and PCS
product certification."
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:
PORTABLE RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE".
Holding
the antenna affects the effective range.
