Class B Digital Device
For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions
furnished the user shall include the following or similar
statement, placed in a prominent location in the text of the
manual:
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Operating Instructions
•
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.
•
Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with
the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the
antenna) at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) away from the nose or lips.
Antenna should be kept away from the eye.
•
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a
Motorola Solutions-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or
body harness for this product.
•
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is transmitting.
•
DO NOT use any portable radio that has a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
your skin, a minor burn can result.
•
To ensure continued compliance with applicable RF
exposure limits, use only Motorola Solutions-approved,
supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and
accessories.
•
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved accessories
please refer to your user manual or visit

Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods
of time may temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The
louder the volume of the radio, the sooner your hearing will be
affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes
undetectable at first, and can have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing, follow these precautions:
•
Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
•
Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
•
Turn down the volume before putting on a headset or
headphones.
•
Limit the amount of time you use a headset or
headphones at high volume.
•
When using the radio without a headset or headphones,
do not place the speaker of the radio directly against your
ear.
Medical Devices
If you use a personal medical device, such as a pacemaker or
hearing aid, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola Solutions communications equipment certified as
intrinsically safe by the approving agency (FM, UL, CSA,
CENELEC) is tested as a complete system which consists of the
listed agency approved portable, approved battery, and
approved accessories or options, or both. This approved
portable and battery combination must be strictly observed.
There must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute
has been previously approved with a different Motorola
Solutions communications equipment unit. Approved
configurations are listed by the approving agency (FM, UL,
CSA, CENELEC).
The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to radio refers to
the intrinsically safe classification of that radio product, and the
approved batteries that can be used with that system. The
manual PN referenced on the Intrinsically Safe Approval Label
identifies the approved accessories and or options that can be
used with that portable radio unit. Using a non-Motorola
Solutions-intrinsically safe battery and/or accessory with the
Motorola Solutions-approved radio unit will void the intrinsically
safe approval of that radio unit.

codes are enabled.
Safety and General Information
Warning:
•
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual
prior to installation of electronic equipment
to avoid interference with air bag wiring.
•
DO NOT place a portable radio in the area
over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a
portable radio is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates,
the radio may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the
vehicle.
Warning:
•
Do not carry a radio that is not certified for
Hazardous Locations into a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It could result in a
serious injury or death. You should only use
a radio certified for hazardous locations in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
•
Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard
classified locations that may contain
hazardous gas, vapors, dusts, such as
fueling areas below decks on boats, fuel or
chemical transferor storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust or metal
powders. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often, but not always,
posted.
•
DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries
in such areas, or remove or install
antennas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Warning:
To avoid possible interference with
blasting operations, turn off your radio when you
are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting
area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Use only Motorola Solutions approved batteries.
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
