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 in user guides published priarto December 1,2002,
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Yourtwo-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver To control
your exposure and ensure compliance with the generai
population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to
the following procedure:
- Transmit no more than 50% afthe time.
' To receive calls, release the PTl button.
° To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PW) button.
Transmitting 50% ofthe time, or less, is important because the radio
generates measurabie RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in
terms of measuring standards compliance).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
- United States Federal communications Commission, Code of Federal
Regulations; MCFR part 2 sub-partJ
- American National Standards Institute (ANSIl/lnstitute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (lEEEl 095 14992

limitation of exposure to electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic
fields in the radio frequency range between 9 KHZ and SOUGHZ" and
"Attachment to resolution #303 from July 2, 2002"
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 "lN USE." Holding the
antenna affects the effective range.
Body»W0rn Operadon
To maintain compliances with FCC/Health Canada BF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always
place the radio in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster,
case or body harness forthis product. Use of non~lVlotorola~approved
accessories may exceed FCC/Health Canada RF exposure guidelines.
liyou do not use one of the Motorola-supplied or approved body-worn
accessories and are not using the radio held in the normal use
position, ensure the radio and its antenna are at least1 inch (2.5 ml
lrom your body when transmitting
ngcsolzl
Dara Uperatr'on
it applicable, when using any data feature of the radio with or without
an accessory cable, position the radio and its antenna at least one
inch (2.5 cm) from the body.

Electromagnetic interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EM!) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. This device complies with
Part is otthe FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
i. This device may not cause harmful interference; and
Z. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesrred operation
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts,
turn off your radio in any facrlity 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 onboard an aircraft.
Any use of a radio must he in accordance with applicable regulations
per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices — Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (i5 cm) be maintained between a
handheld Wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of
the US. Food and Drug Administration,
9.“ I am
People With pacemakers should:
~ ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches “5 cm) from their
pacemaker when the radio lS turned ON.
~ Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
' Use the ear opposite the pacemakerto minimize the potential for
interference.
~ Tom the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Medical Devices ~ Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids, ln
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 physrcran may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations regardingthe use of radios in the area
where you drive, and always obey them. if you do use your radio while
driving, please:
' Give full attention to driving and to the road,
- Use handsfree operation, it available
0 Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
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 injuryto
occupants of the vehicle.

Potential/y Exploszve Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Only radic types that are especially qualified should be
used in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe," Do not remove, install or
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosrve
atmosphere can cause an explosion or tire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to
above include fueling area 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 oftenwbut not
always—posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interlerance with blasting operations, turn oft your
radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
areas posted "Turn offtwo-way radios." Obey all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. lf a
damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can
result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as
burns if a conductive materialfilike jewelry, keys or beaded chains—
touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot, Exercise care in
handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse or other container With metal objects.

NOTE: The SXEUO model radio can use a NiMH rechargeable battery
instead of three AAA batteries.
Installing the NiMH Battery Pack:
ll Follow step 2 above to remove the batten! cover.
2. Remove the battery pack from the clear plastic bag, Do not
disassemble or unwrap the battery pack.
3 insert the NiMH battery pack so the "This Side Up” is showing.
4. Reposition the batterycover and press down to secure.
Battery Meter
The battery icon shows the battery charge level, from full Ell
to empty__"'___“): . When the battery is empty‘ the radio chirps periodically
after releasing (Low Battery Alert). The radio powers oil when we
voltage drops below a predetermined level to protect the rechargeable
battery.
Note: Remove the batteries before storing your radio for extended
periods of time Batteries corrode over time and may cause permanent
damage to your radio.

Using the Desk Stand Charger (Optional Accessory}
The desk stand charger provides drop-in charging convenience for
NiMH batteries and can be placed on any flat surface, such as a desk
or workbench. Charge the NiMH battery overnight (at least 16 hours)
before using it for the first time. After the initial charge, an empty
battery is fully charged within 14 hours.
1. Follow the steps above to install a NiMl-l Battery Pack.
2. Plug the AC power supply into the plug on the desk stand.
3, Plug the AC power supply into a standard wall outlet
4. With a radio lacing forward, slide it into one of the charging pockets.
Notes
- The light on the charging base will glow continuously when
radio/battery is inserted,
- When moving between hot and cold temperatures, do not charge the
battery until the battery temperature acolimates (usually about 20
minutes).
- For optimal battery life, remove the radio or batteryfrom the charger
within lG hours. Do not store the radio in the charger.
° Turn radio off while in charging tray.
