• Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
• Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, 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.
SAFETY AND GENERAL
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area
where you drive. Always obey them.
When using your radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
FOR VEHICLES WITH AN AIR BAG
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.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially
qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for
example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). Do not remove,
install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
NOTE:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always
posted.
BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS
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.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
ANTENNAS
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.

accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.
If you do
not use a Motorola approved body-worn accessory and are not
using the radio in the intended use positions along side of the
head in the phone mode or in front of the face in the two-way
radio mode, then ensure the antenna and radio is kept the
following minimum distances from the body when transmitting:
• Phone or Two-way radio mode: one inch (2.5 centimeters)
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 call quality and may cause the radio to
operate at a higher power level than needed.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories look in the
appendix or accessory section of your radio’s User Guide.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
NOTE:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an
aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with
applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
• Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be
maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those
of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters)
from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
• turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
