RF Operational Characteristics
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.
The radio operates in the frequency range of 446.00625 MHz
to 446.09375 MHz.
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
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom 1995
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range form 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999.
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 phone and may violate FCC regulations.
